I will never understand why was Bruckner presented to me during my musical studies as someone "old-fashioned" and "not as interesting as others" --- some of his music is truly outstanding and sounds modern even nowadays.
There are strings parts in some of the symphonies which Philip Glass must have known very well. Patterns and repeats are not much different from what became PG trademark.
That may be due to concentration on orchestral works. With Bruckner, you have the problem of which edition to use. And they are not easy works to conduct and bring off.
And, moreover, why does great music have to be "original"? Moderns have an obsession with "originality", as though it were an end in itself. Some of the very greatest composers weren't "original" at all: Tomas de la Victoria, J S Bach, G Handel, Mozart, etc.
Le 4 septembre 2024, c'est le 200e anniversaire de la naissance d'Anton Bruckner, et comme je suis un fervent admirateur de ce grand compositeur autrichien, j'aurais voulu savoir si quelque chose est organisé à cette occasion, comme une visite de l'abbaye de Sait Florian près de Linz, là où est enterré Anton Bruckner. Merci !
Magnifique... En écoutant sa musique sacrée je découvre un Bruckner profondément croyant. Une foi chevillée au corps et donc à sa musique. Je l'aime beaucoup ce compositeur...
Our choir will sing this mass this year on 11-25 10:30 am in the Jesuitenkirche in Vienna. www.chorvereinigung-augustin.com/events/anton-bruckner-messe-nr-1-in-d-moll-wab-26/
This line of sacred choral music is "close" to Fauré...isn´t it? There is something to it, as far as I feel it. Slow, solemn tonalities but not daring to cross any border.
I am looking forward to singing this glorious music at St Stephens Cathedral in Vienna 7/06/2024

You really understand Bruckner. This is the 2nd time I've heard this connection with Philip Glass.
