Symphony no. 5

Album by Anton Bruckner & Wiener Philharmoniker & Claudio Abbado

Symphony No. 5 in B-flat major is the fifth symphony by Austrian composer Anton Bruckner, completed in 1876. A late-Romantic orchestral work characterised by expansive structures, dense contrapuntal writing and austere brass textures, it belongs to Bruckner's mature period and exemplifies his focus on large-scale form and harmonic breadth within the symphonic tradition.
First released: 1995
