SYMPHONY No.9 by Anton Bruckner {Audio + Full score}

The full orchestral score to Anton Bruckner's final ninth symphony, with small differences between several revisions of the work and the scores available, a few notes are added and some missing sadly, but does not detract from the work.

[@jedanarcher7806]

This literally a great symphony and a moving swan song, the depth of emotions and epic themes make this one of the best symphonic works ever composed.

Really? This is what is giving you enlightenment? A soulless concatenation of sequences..Listen Miritreus and you will understand what real music is like.

Thank you
This invigorates my soul

[@pascalpoussin1209]

Great comment Mr Shin Kozima. Probably one has to live the rising of the sun to awaken to one's enlightenment - and Bruckner's 9th can help with that.

[@remomazzetti8757]

While the recording posted here wisely uses Bruckner's original orchestration of his incomplete final symphony, the score is the first published version (1903). The entire score was not only re-orchestrated by the work's first conductor, Ferdinand Lowe: he made many unacceptable changes to the music. The original score has been available since its premiere in 1932, but some conductors like Hans Knappertsbusch unfortunately always used the spurious Lowe version. The unfinished Finale has been completed by several different editors, but I don't find any of them convincing but worth hearing.

Helps explain why there's a contrabassoon part in this score, even though I normally see a third bassoon performing

[@markwardprodking]

Wow, this was great!! I get to hear things I’ve never heard before by looking at the score. Bravo!!!

[@TheOneAndOnlyZeno1889]

I have plently more videos where that came from - by many composers, i.e. Bach, Wagner or Dietrich Buxtehude...

[@Charlie-gq9vu]

wow I had never payed much attention to the Scherzo. What a movement.

[@unnamed_boi]

you should give info that haitink altered the timpani part in the coda of the first movement. bruckner originally only wrote a timpani roll, but in this recording the timpani doubles the rhythm in the trombones.

[@TheOneAndOnlyZeno1889]

I didn't know that detail; I shall add it to the description, cheers.

[@remomazzetti8757]

Haitink didn't alter anything! He performs Bruckner's original version, but the published score printed here is a heavily re-orchestrated version.

[@unnamed_boi]

@@remomazzetti8757 he did perform Bruckner's original version, but he also did alter that timpani part in the coda. If you take a look at the score of the original version, Bruckner only wrote a long roll that lasts until the final measure. Haitink instead made the timpani double the rhythm in the trombones.
The coda in the first published score (the one that's heavily re-orchestrated and also in this video) also has timpani rolls, but they pause everytime the trumpets hit the E-flat note. Haitink did not do that here.
However, I am pretty sure that's also the only alteration Haitink made, and I am perfectly fine with that because it frankly sounds pretty good to my ears xD. And it's not like a single alteration can change the meaning of a whole symphony soo...

[@nickbamber268]

1960s Haitink, still unsurpassed.

[@victorias13]

Would you please make a score- video of the Hans Rott symphony in E major?

[@TheOneAndOnlyZeno1889]

I would say no, since Im Walde has already done so.

The finale uses 4 Tuba's, and a Bass Tuba? That must be a first lmao. I don't think I've ever seen a score with 5 tuba parts.

[@TheOneAndOnlyZeno1889]

Tubamania in this Symphony - although R.Wagner may have done the same - I can't be bothered going through all his scores to be certain at the moment.

[@FreakieFan]

@@TheOneAndOnlyZeno1889
Yes, perhaps in his operas, but in a Symphony? I've analyzed countless symphonies in my day, but I don't think I've ever seen so many Tuba's in a "quote-unquote formal work"

[@TheOneAndOnlyZeno1889]

@@FreakieFan I think you are right on that account, I have seen 5 in a symphony, but I haven't examined Mahler's orchestration in regards his Symphony's.

[@sashakindel3600]

​@@FreakieFan The "four tubas" this symphony calls for are Wagner tubas, which are more closely related to French horns than the tuba family proper. Bruckner's seventh and eighth symphonies also call for a quartet of Wagner tubas, as does Strauss's Alpensinfonie, though one can argue about whether the Strauss qualifies as a symphony.

[@FreakieFan]

@@sashakindel3600
Interesting, thank you!
I also noticed them in Bruckner's work, yes.
