Symphony 5

Album by Anton Bruckner & Wiener Philharmoniker & Christian Thielemann

Symphony No. 5 is the fifth symphony by Austrian composer Anton Bruckner, completed in 1876. The work is a large-scale Romantic symphony characterised by dense orchestration, expansive sonata-form structures and strict contrapuntal writing — including prominent fugal passages — and represents a mature stage in Bruckner's symphonic output where architectural rigour shapes the musical argument.
