Philharmonie Festiva - Anton Bruckner: Symphony No. 6 in A major

Bruckner�s Sixth is one of his most genial symphonies and might be considered to inhabit a world not too distant from the symphonies of Schubert, Dvo?�k and even Beethoven�s Pastoral. Not only are its many melodies immediately appealing, but it is also, in the words of the composer, his �cheekiest� (�die Keckste�). If one thinks of Bruckner as the composer of massive, monumental works with awe-inspiring spiritual aspirations, the idea that he composed a �cheeky� symphony will come as quite a surprise.
