Bruckner: Symphony No. 7

CD Review

Available for over a year

John Deathridge compares recordings of Bruckner's powerful 7th Symphony and makes a personal recommendation. The moving slow movement with its distinctive scoring for 4 Wagner tubas was written around the time of Wagner's death and is sometimes seen as Bruckner's homage to the composer he revered above all others.
