Bruckner: Symphony No. 6 / Mena, BBC Philharmonic Orchestra
| Considered by some to be the āCinderellaā of his symphonies, the Sixth Symphony of Anton Bruckner was composed in 1879 ā 81. It may well demonstrate a reaction to the severe criticism of the first Viennese performance, in 1877, of his Third Symphony, which Eduard Hanslick described as a vision of how Beethovenās Ninth befriends Wagnerās WalkĆ¼re and ends up being trampled under her horsesā hoofsā. Much the shortest of his mature symphonies, the Sixth also reverts to a more classical form than its predecessors. This recording was made in 2012, during the first season of Juanjo Mena as Chief Conductor of the BBC Philharmonic, and just a month before their acclaimed performance of the work at the BBC Proms. Classical Source commented: āMena didnāt miss a trick and the result for the whole symphony was a revelation, and you donāt get many of those. This was a thrilling, delightful performance.ā |
