'They want me to write differently', said Anton Bruckner. 'Certainly I could, but I must not.'  And from its quiet opening pulse to its towering finish, it's hard to imagine his mighty Sixth Symphony unfolding any other way: one man's utterly individual voyage towards heaven, expressed in music of quiet wonder and mountainous grandeur. Tonight its the climax of an evening that begins with Webern's jewel-like setting of Bruckner's great hero Bach, and continues with James MacMillan's Viola Concerto, with soloist and dedicatee, Lawrence Power.
