○ Work introduction
If you search the imaginary hidden object of Viennese musical life in the second half of the 19th century for the most idiosyncratic oddball who falls through the cracks of bourgeois conventions but unflinchingly does his thing, the zoom moves purposefully toward a close-up - Anton Bruckner. If Alban Berg is considered the nonchalant, suave one among Viennese composers, Bruckner, 60 years his senior, is a monolith of impenetrability. One of the labels most often applied to his nine symphonies is "erratic." The immutability that his music exudes also seems to be inherent in his personality. Today one would say: a nerd who does not even seem to be aware of his unconformity.
In his working methods, too, Bruckner initially proceeded in a structured manner like few others. In his Fourth Symphony, ideas and thoughts did not pop into his head unbundled, but he worked his way forward systematically in a linear fashion. First movement: January 2 to March 26, 1874; second movement: April 10 to June 10; scherzo: June 13 to July 25; finale: July 30 to November 22, and even the time Bruckner recorded: "1/2 9 o'clock in the evening." So much for the outward appearance - a supposed check-off according to plan. But self-doubt lurked behind the attempt to give himself a foothold with the help of the structured work process. No sooner had the work been completed than Bruckner wrote to a friend: "No one is helping me," and: "What should I do? This tension accompanied him his entire career. Reinforced by the head-shaking with which the public initially reacted to his symphonies, Bruckner struggled almost ceaselessly to find the ideal form for each symphony. And so the incessant processes of reworking, filing, and wrestling defined Bruckner's self-image as a composer. But what is the outer form compared to the richness of imagination with which he knows how to imagine sounds: the wafting out of unfathomable worlds at the beginning, the dreaminess of the Andante, the towering waves of increase in the Scherzo and the merging of the finale into all-embracing jubilation.

Best Finale ever.....Janowski REALLY has those VIOLINS WORKING.....Surpasses Celibidache, Muti and even Mehta. BRAVO from Acapulco!
........and the HORNS too....must be mentioned at the very end.....Extraordinary!
Thanks!
We're glad that you like our performance 😊
Sorry, NOTHING has surpassed the Coda as conducted by Celibidache. I own 71 recordings of this mighty work: the Celi ending takes it into another stratosphere.
This performance though, is great - until the rushed Coda.
@@dieterbarkhoff1328 Janowski moves the music forward at all times. When he is successful, the listener will forget any prior experience with this piece.
Das Solohorn spielt fantastisch! Das Orchester natürlich auch!
Vielen Dank! ❤
Lieber WDR, warum verratet ihr @Jing Li nicht, wer der Hornist ist?
Das ist unser Solo-Hornist Přemysl Vojta. :)
Excellent performance. Much enjoyed it. Thanks.
Thank you!
We're happy that you like it 🤗
Bruckner‘s music is out of this world
This overwhelming powerful performance is off the charts amazing.
Thanks! 🙃
@@WDRKlassik
You are welcome
I hope You are well
Thank you WDR for posting this. You're keeping civilization alive worldwide.
We're happy that you like it 😊
@@WDRKlassik I like very much. Please never stop!
Horn is brilhant❤
Thank you!📯♥
Leading Bruckner Symphonies could well be Marek Janowski's calling card. This is a fine performance and we are indebted to WDR for posting it for the world to enjoy. A fine interpreter of Bruckner, or any other composer, cannot be successful without the right orchestra. And here is where we see WDR Symphony Orchestra rise to that short list of elite ensembles. At a time when many musical organizations beg off and tell listeners they will play Bruckner live after the pandemic ends, here is WDR in full force. Thanks so much to all involved, including the audio-visual technicians. I am sure to recommend this performance to others and revisit it, and other WDR recordings, in the future. Many thanks!
Thanks so much!
Ich liebe diese Sinfonie einfach, schon seit ich klein war. Einfach großartig.
❤❤❤
I am a retired Oboist from Boston and personally knew Everett Firth, Timpanist, of the Boston symphony. He said, on more than one occasion, Timpany must be played standing up to be played properly. I see so many orchestras with them sitting down.
This was my favourite music when I was 10 years old. I grew up with the Von Karajan - Berliner Philharmoniker (ed. R. Haas) version (1987 re-issue of the original in 1974), which is still my favourite (nostalgia at work I guess). But I very much enjoyed this performance as well. For me this piece stands or falls with the tempo: it has to be júst right, and this one is... just right. Thanks WDR!
If film would have existed back then, Bruckner would have been the 19th century John Williams (or Hans Zimmer if you like): such big, dramatic almost film-like music. Love it :)
Thank you! ❤
Nice to hear that you enjoyed it.
Playing this in 8th grade!!! It’s so funn!!
Danke
Sehr gerne!
The acoustics of the venue are well suited to Buckner's music. Thank you for sharing this enjoyable performance.
One of the great miracles of music.
Magnificent performance- all the weight the work requires, but with such clarity and balance between sections too. Perfect tempi. Thank you. This is my new favourite performance of a work I have loved for fifty years.
Thank you very much! ❤
We are glad that you like our interpretation.
I loved the performance overall especially the first horn player whom caught my attention right from the beginning. The conductor had the confidence of the orchestra, so they started out running. I'm glad the conductor didn't try to squeeze with a tight hand and so he kept the codes loose.
We're happy to hear that you enjoyed our performance 🤗
Adoro essa sinfonia. Energia pura!
Es una de sus sinfonías más comprensibles de todo su ciclo, porque su lenguaje es ligero, dinámico y poco misterioso, lo que no ocurre con sus sinfonías tercera, quinta, octava y principalmente la novena.
Fantastisch Bruckner! 👏👏👏Danke sehr❤️
A very fine performance indeed and the Coda is brilliant!
Thank you! 😊
@dariuspardiwalla7572 -- Exactly, my precious Dabbawalla...and it's precisely because, unlike even the towering Celibidach and Karajan, Janowski FEATURES the background VIOLINS in the Coda. Muti is good, too. Cheers from Acapulco!
📯s 🎺s & 🎻👏👏👏 Great interpretation of a great symphony. Thank you for posting allowing us to hear your stunning orchestra as it's a long way from Germany to Australia! 🙂
Thank you very much!
Greetings from Germany 🤗
Best of music !
😊
Thank you. Incredible concert! I was screaming it on tv. The orchestra conducted by Marek Janowfski was so impressive. Anton Bruckner’s Symphony “Romantic Version” was vivacious, full of life.
Thanks so much!
Excellent performance
ほんとんい素晴らしい〜fine performance horn especially accomplished
Thank you 😊
Ein Horn Konzert mit phanastischem Orchester!! Bravo und vielen Dank!
Gerne 😉
Schön, dass es Ihnen gefällt.
GREAT
BRAVO !
Fantastisch gespielt. Bravo
Wunderschöne und detaillierte Aufführung dieser romantischen und großartigen Sinfonie mit seidigen Tönen aller Streicher, milden Tönen aller Holzbläser und vor allem brillanten Tönen aller Blechbläser. Der zweite Satz klingt besonders schön und echt nuanciert. Der intelligente und erfahrene Dirigent leitet das perfekt trainierte Orchester in verschiedenen Tempi und mit perfekt kontrollierter Dynamik. Einfach wundervoll!
Vielen Dank und schön, dass es so gefällt. 😌
I love 💕 you Susannah ❤
Liebe Freunde in Köln, mit Sorge sehe ich seit langem die vielen freien Plätze in der Philharmonie ... und das bei einer 4. Bruckner! In einer Millionenstadt wie Köln, die sich Kultur auf die Fahnen geschrieben hat?! Ich bin froh, dass ich dieses wunderbare Orchester noch wahrnehmen darf.(...)
Normalerweise sieht das anders aus. Diese Aufnahme ist vom 18.12.2021, als ja noch wegen der Corona-Maßnahmen weniger Menschen in die Philharmonie konnten.
@@WDRKlassik Leider sieht es im Normalfall nicht anders aus. Bei einem Livestream des Gürzenich Orchesters vor wenigen Tagen das selbe Bild.
Umso mehr freut es uns, dass wir treue "Fans" wie Sie haben, die ebenso die Möglichkeiten nutzen, digital dabei zu sein. Dafür möchten wir uns bei Ihnen bedanken. Wir versuchen natürlich immer attraktive und interessante Programme, sowie gute Ticketkonditionen anzubieten, die Lust darauf machen, das Konzert live zu besuchen. Ob jemand ein Ticket kauft, oder nicht, liegt am Ende vermutlich an vielen verschiedenen Faktoren, die wir nicht immer alle kennen oder beeinflussen können. Wir freuen uns aber natürlich immer, wenn der Saal (nahezu) ausverkauft ist, so wie letztens, als die Lucas und Arthur Jussen mit uns musiziert haben. 🤩
Großartig, sehr beeindruckend 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Excelente versión, desde luego. Todas las secciones orquestales están finas y ofrecen un sonido perfecto; el director demuestra que conoce perfectamente esta obra. Lástima que al final se corta bruscamente, no se deja oír los aplausos.

La cuarta "romántica" de Bruckner (1824-1896) es una de sus sinfonías con la mayor cantidad de revisiones de todo su ciclo. La información dice que la versión es de 1878-80, pero no dice si es de la edición de Leopold Nowak o de Robert Haas.
We played the edition from Leopold Nowak. Best regards from WDR Sinfonieorchester

ポスト・スクロヴァチェフスキー！
Por cierto, la Cuarta de Bruckner se llama "Romántica".
Sí :)
@@WDRKlassik No es sinfonía "El romántico". Es LA romántica...! ;-))
The strings toward the end! Wowowowow! But why was that 2nd violinist woman repeatedly looking over at the concertmaster? Guidance on volume? Intensity?
Thank you 🤗
The conductor gives the orchestra the dynamics of the piece, so she is looking at him to see how he wants the orchestra to play 😊
@@WDRKlassik But she's looking at the concertmaster, not the conductor. I've never seen anything like it. Anyway... marvelous performance!
Der Orchesterklang ist fantastisch. Das Tempo geht gar nicht. Schade.
Très belle interprétation. Mais que c'est triste, tous ces gens masqués... y compris un contrebassiste. Respirez donc, braves gens !
Der Konzertmeister passt ja kaum noch in's Bild mit seiner Bewegungsamplitude - unnötig und kontraproduktiv!
The opening few minutes is the only likeable part to me. Otherwise this whole work goes nowhere. I tried. I love all great classical music, but Bruckner is one composer I never took to. I was tortured two years ago in Paris at the Philharmonie with this piece. Mendelssohn, Brahms, Liszt, Schumann did all of this so much better.
Bueno, no a todo el mundo puede gustarle el maravilloso mundo bruckneriano, sólo es para mentes abstractas, metafísicas y religiosas.
@djmotise -- Try listening to the Last 5 Minutes.....over and over again......Cheers from Acapulco!
