Description: | The air shimmers and glows, and somewhere in the mists, a solitary horn gives a lonely call. The stuff of fairytales? The truth is, itā??s impossible to write about Brucknerā??s majestic Fourth Symphony without letting the imagination soar; he never wrote anything more colourful, or more poetic. In Germany, they call it the ā??Romanticā??
symphony, and itā??s easy to hear why.
Sir Simon Rattle loves Brucknerā??s Fourth, and on this new recording from LSO Live, he conducts the work in all its splendour: music that never gets any less stirring, and
has never sounded so fresh. He is aware, too, that Brucknerā??s inspiration burned so brightly that he ended up with more ideas than he could actually use. ā??There is much
wonderful music which remains almost entirely unplayedā? he says. On this album he steps inside Brucknerā??s workshop, bringing to light some of the music that didnā??t
make the final cut.
This edition of the symphony and its discarded Scherzo and Finale by Benjamin-Gunnar Cohrs was published in 2021. The world premiere performance with Sir Simon
Rattle and the LSO is a must-listen for lovers of Brucknerā??s music, and gives us a glimpse into the composerā??s untold musical thoughts. - .. SYMPHONY NO. 4TT disc 2: 1:05:05.

Recorded live in Jerwood Hall at LSO St Luke's, London, October 2021
