Continuing their acclaimed cycle, von Dohnányi and the Cleveland Orchestra tackle the Fourth Symphony—Bruckner's most programmatic work, known as the 'Romantic'—and the monumental, unfinished Ninth. These 1999 performances maintain the cycle's approach: clarity of texture, respect for massive formal designs, and commitment to bringing out spiritual and emotional dimensions. The Fourth's heroic themes and the Ninth's visionary opening movement receive particularly memorable readings. The sound quality is superb, with the orchestra captured in full, natural balance by Decca engineers. These performances deepen with repeated listening.
