Anton Bruckner (1824-1896)
Symphony No. 6 in A major
1881, WAB 106
Philharmoniker Hamburg
Simone Young, conduct
The 6th Symphony of Anton Bruckner was recorded
live for SACD in December 2013 at two concerts in
the Hamburg Laeiszhalle. Here, too, critics were unanimous
in their enthusiasm, as could be read in the
Hamburger Abendblatt of 16 December 2013: “…
This rendering of the 6th Symphony in A major became,
on the part of the Philharmonic, a festival of
precision and punctuality. No wonder: Simone Young
showed tempi of an organic effect, bonding with her
musicians in a convincingly dosed mixture of fire
and soul.” (Tom R. Schulz, Hamburger Abendblatt).
In addition, OehmsClassics is offering the conclusion
of the Bruckner cycle with Simone Young
during the first half of the year 2015. Symphonies
Nos. 7, 9 & 5 will then be appearing by June.
