If you, like me, aren't as familiar with the Bruckner symphonies as you could be, it is suggested that we start with the 7th Symphony, the symphony most famous in the composer's lifetime, tonight at 7:00 on the Evening Concert.
Mozart and Bruckner shared a home country: Austria... is there an audio lineage between the two? Tune in tonight at 7:00 to find out.
Schubert and Bruckner are linked by their association with Vienna, and symphonic writing. Schubert's 4th Symphony dates from 1819, and, from where we sit today, Bruckner's 6th Symphony came a mere 60 years (1879) later.
Coincidence? Bruckner's 9th Symphony is in the 'key' of D Minor as is Beethoven's 9th. . .find out tonight.
No confusion here! You'll hear the San Francisco Symphony twice this week: on Monday on "Carnegie Hall Live" and on Wednesday as part of the San Francisco Symphony radio broadcast series.
