Leading the Munich Philharmonic in this concert is its principal conductor Christian Thielemann, a maestro internationally known and admired above all as a specialist of Romantic music, whose New Year’s Eve Concert 2011 was telecast via Satellite to cinemas in Hong Kong on 1st Jan 2012. Some describe Bruckner's nine symphonies elemental, metaphysical, primordial - which fully apply to his 4th Symphony, the "Romantic." Though Bruckner provided programmatic explanations to the music, one seeks in vain the "medieval city" and "leaping steeds" in this work, which disregards conventions and expectations. Monolithic blocks of sound derived from the simple horn melody of the opening measures, sweeping themes that hypnotically revolve around themselves, long build-ups that suddenly break off when a climax is imminent - the Fourth is a milestone in Bruckner's symphonic oeuvre. Bruckner originally wrote the Fourth Symphony in 1874, but revised it thoroughly in 1880 before its premiere in Vienna in 1881, which was a resounding success. Although he continued to revise it in later years, the version most often played today is the first revised version of 1880. This is also the version featured on this recording of a concert held at the Festspielhaus Baden-Baden, which was greeted with storms of applause. 慕尼黑爱乐首席指挥克里斯蒂安蒂勒曼，国际知名的浪漫主义音乐的大师。更是刚于2012年元旦日香港首次透过人造卫星转播到香港戏院的世界级音乐会2011年 德累斯敦除夕音乐会的指挥。 很多时布鲁克纳的九首交响曲被描述为形而上学的，原始的， 本质的 - 这些完全适用于他的第四号交响曲“浪漫”。虽然布鲁克纳的音乐提供了纲领性的解释，但要追寻其如何不按传统和超越期望，只有徒然。第四号交响曲开首单片的简单号角旋律，之后席捲围绕自己催眠式的主题，然后突然于高潮时的。第四号交响曲是布鲁克纳的交响乐全部作品中的一个里程碑。布鲁克纳最初写于 1874年的第四号交响曲， 在1880年彻底被改写，直至1881年才在维也纳首演得到巨大的成功。这个版本也是这在巴登 - 巴登节庆音乐厅演出的版本，音乐会也获得了暴风式的掌声。 ComposerAnton Bruckner TitleBruckner, Symphony No.4 in E flat major ConductorChristian Thielemann OrchestraMünchner Philharmoniker Video DirectorAgnes Méth
