The most comprehensive Bruckner Symphonies cycle, including all 19 available versions. This third release of Capriccios Bruckner Edition, of Symphony in D minor ("Nullified") is performed by Bruckner Orchestra Linz conducted by Markus Poschner. Although the work did not belong to the corpus of nine numbered symphonies which the composer had identified in his will as worthy of preservation in the imperial library, and for which he is best remembered, he did not destroy it. Hoping perhaps, to ensure that future generations would assess the symphony in what he considered its proper perspective, he wrote annotations at various places in the manuscript: “invalid” [ungiltig] “completely void” [ganz nichtig] and “annulled” [annulirt]. This new complete Bruckner Symphonies edition from Capriccio reassesses these enduringly enigmatic and complex works. Presented by the Bruckner Orchestra Linz and the ORF Vienna Radio Symphony Orchestra, and featuring all 19 available versions, the cycle is scheduled for completion in 2024, Bruckner’s 200th birthday.

*** Good Album
Yannick Millon – Classica magazine (France) – June 2022
“… Recording quality and playing are both first-class, the woodwinds and brass especially eloquent in quieter passages. The phrasing and sonority of the violins in the sublime introduction to the finale is another highlight…”
Christian Hoskins – Gramophone magazine – April 2022

“… this performance is impeccable, in the safe hands of Markus Poschner, and I look forward to the continuation of the series.”
Michael Tanner – BBC Music magazine – April 2022
“Superb sound and playing provide impeccable advocacy for a symphony which perhaps unfairly lies outside the accepted canon of “the nine”.”
