Symphony no. 5 in B-flat

Symphony No. 5 in B-flat major is the fifth symphony by Austrian composer Anton Bruckner, completed in 1876. The work exemplifies late-Romantic symphonic writing with expansive orchestration, intricate contrapuntal textures and a monumental architectural design, and it occupies a pivotal position in Bruckner's output as a synthesis of his contrapuntal training and his mature symphonic scale.
