Composer:
Anton Bruckner

Conductor:
Philippe Herreweghe

Background: With the fourth (and possibly most popular) of his symphonies, Bruckner marked himself out as Beethoven's successor, while still remaining intellectually very close to Wagner. Bruckner himself described the work as a 'Romantic Symphony'.

Three versions exist of the Fourth Symphony in the composer's own hand: the original of 1874, the revision of 1878 and a new version of the finale from 1880. There are significant divergences between them: if one compares the first and last, it is perfectly legitimate to speak of two distinct works using the same material. To this must be added the first printed edition of 1889, which differs radically from Bruckner's autograph, and was authorised by the composer but not sanctioned by his signature. Bruckner was painstakingly precise over such technicalities and he agreed to these sweeping changes, persuaded to do so, above all, by the shock he had felt at Hermann Levi's rejection of his Eighth Symphony in 1887. But 'for times to come' it was his own final version he regarded as valid - the revision of 1878 with the 1880 finale. This is the score recorded here.
