Symphony no. 5

Album by Anton Bruckner & Wiener Philharmoniker & Hans Knappertsbusch

Symphony No. 5 is the fifth symphony by Austrian composer Anton Bruckner, completed in 1876. The large-scale Romantic work in B-flat major emphasises expansive contrapuntal writing, dense harmonic textures and prominent brass and wind chorales, and it represents a mature phase in Bruckner's orchestral output where he explored monumental architecture and formal complexity.
First released: 1995
