In the latest release in the Fresh! series from Reference Recordings, conductor Manfred Honeck and the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra present Bruckner: Symphony No. 7 & Bates: Resurrexit.On September 23, 1881, Bruckner began work on his Seventh Symphony, just twenty days after finishing his Sixth Symphony. The first and third movements were written first, followed by the second and finally the fourth, with the full symphony completed on September 3, 1883 in St. Florian. The Seventh Symphony was premiered on December 30, 1884 in Leipzig, Germany under the direction of Arthur Nikisch, conductor of the Leipzig Gewandhaus Orchestra and later chief conductor of the Berlin Philharmonic.The question has often been raised whether Bruckner’s symphonies are best viewed through a spiritual or intellectual lens. For me, it is impossible to separate one from the other, as I see the symphonies as a total work of art. To experience Bruckner only from an intellectual perspective would somehow diminish the rich spiritual power and deep meaning within the music. Similarly, to reduce Bruckner’s music to the spiritual alone, devoid of skill and mastery, would be superficial.01. Bruckner  Symphony No. 7 – I. Allegro moderato DSD 512fs – 2ch.dsf02.
