A Grand, Mysterious Harmony

BBC Radio 3
on BBC Radio 3

Stephen Johnson explores the symphonic legacy of Anton Bruckner (1824-1896), with complete performances of most versions of his symphonies by the BBC orchestras.
3: An Unplayable Symphony?
This week, the survey reaches the Symphony No 2 in C minor in a performance by the Ulster Orchestra and conductor John Carewe. The programme includes contributions from William Carragan and Otto Biba , who discuss the various versions of the symphony and the approach of different editors. Is there such a thing as a definitive version of this - or any - Bruckner symphony?
