Anton Bruckner - 12 Choral Works (1848-92)

Anton Bruckner (4 September 1824 - 11 October 1896) was an Austrian composer known for his symphonies, masses, and motets. The first are considered emblematic of the final stage of Austro-German Romanticism because of their rich harmonic language, strongly polyphonic character, and considerable length. Bruckner's compositions helped to define contemporary musical radicalism, owing to their dissonances, unprepared modulations, and roving harmonies.

"Tota pulchra es Maria": Es ist sehr schön und berührend, hier die Stimme von Armin Ude als Liturg zu hören. Ein ehrwürdiges und bleibendes Zeugnis seiner sängerischen Qualität.

Always loved Bruckner's love for abrupt modulations (like in his Te Deum). Godly version of Cradle of Filth! 😉

[@anbruck1]

A good selection!

Very beautiful as well as meaningful (seeing images of St. Florian, in the vicinity of Linz,
where I spent my youth and adolescence). Thank you for this wonderful presentation !

Ooh, another for the Bruckner playlist.

[@anbruck1]

Nos. 4, 5 & 8 were also Hans Roelofs' selection of best recordings. NB: Rademann's CD (No. 7) and Borowicz' CD (Nos. 1, 10 & 11) were not yet issued when Roelofs made his selection.
