Anton Bruckner (1824-1896)
Anton Bruckner’s Symphony No. 6 stands out as different from all his others. While the symphony does include many of Bruckner’s stylistic characteristics, it is also the most different from his others. Bruckner himself said of it, Die Sechste ist die keckste (“The Sixth is the boldest”). Perhaps this statement indicates his satisfaction with the symphony, especially as the Sixth is his only symphony he never revised. Have a listen for yourself when we play the Bruckner 6th for today’s Midday Masterpiece.
