Sinfonie Nr. 2 - Urfassung 1872

Album by Anton Bruckner & Simone Young & Philharmonisches Staatsorchester Hamburg

Sinfonie Nr. 2 - Urfassung 1872 is the original 1872 version of Symphony No. 2 by Austrian composer Anton Bruckner. Rooted in the late-Romantic symphonic tradition, the work features expansive orchestration, broad thematic development and an ambitious harmonic language that foreshadows his later symphonies, and it occupies a formative place in Bruckner's output as an early large-scale orchestral statement.
