Bruckner 4 The 3 Versions

Accentus 4CD Box ACC 30533

The fourth Symphony occupies a special position in Anton Bruckner’s symphonic cycle. It heralds the cycle of his “mature” symphonies and with it the composer addressed his audience directly and wanted to be understood by them. He succeeded in this – today the “Romantic” is one of Bruckner’s most popular symphonies. Still, he revised it time and again and today there are three versions of it.

With the Bamberg Symphony, which can draw on many years of Bruckner interpretation, Jakub Hrusa has now recorded all versions of the Fourth Symphony. For a conductor, it is a unique opportunity to be able to record all versions of a symphony. In addition, as Hrusa says, the project enables the interested audience to form their own opinion of the quality and tailoring of the respective version. In this way, listeners can decide for themselves whether the composer was right in his doubts, and whether it makes any sense at all to “pit” one version against the other.

This release also includes a fourth CD with the alternate finale (“Volksfest”) to the second version as well as more excerpts from early drafts.

Recorded at Konzerthalle Bamberg, Joseph-Keilberth-Saal November 2020
A co-production with BR-KLASSIK.

Tudor Double SACD 1743

»Curiously, Hrůša’s accounts of both Brahm’s Third and Fourth symphonies share a distinctly elegiac, restrained tone, yet in this new recording the restraint feels quintessentially – and quite touchingly – Brahmsian. (…) Indeed, the orchestra’s characterful, rhythmically vital playing is a consistent delight.«

»The spacious sound of the Bamberg Symphony Orchestra rolls towards the listener's ears in powerful waves, a Brahms experience of a special kind.«

»Jakub Hrůša is a tinkerer, an enthusiastic experimenter, a tireless ponderer when it comes to musical structure.« Rondo Magazin

»Symphonic works by Brahms and Dvorák, Fourth versus Ninth. Yes, that can be extremely exciting! Because the respectful gentlemen Johannes and Antonín not only had a lot in common musically. What you can hear in this brilliant, very stimulating juxtaposition. Because Jakub Hrůša can. The 36-year-old from Brno is already one of the conductors worth hearing. He has just made a great debut with the Berlin Philharmonic. The finely tuned Bamberg Symphony Orchestra can already look forward to guarding this treasure of sound until at least 2026.« Welt am Sonntag
