BBC Music, Volume 12, Number 6: Symphony no. 4 “Romantic” in E‐flat major

Album by Anton Bruckner & BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra & Ion Marin

Symphony No. 4 in E-flat major, "Romantic", is a symphony by Austrian composer Anton Bruckner, composed in 1874. The work exemplifies Bruckner's late-Romantic orchestral language with expansive structures, rich brass chorales, sweeping string textures and dramatic climaxes, and it stands as an early-mature statement in his symphonic output that balances hymn-like solemnity with pastoral and folkloric elements.
First released: February 2004
