Solti conducts Bruckner & Stravinsky

Few of Bruckner’s symphonies cost Bruckner more dearly than his Third – and after his hero Richard Wagner praised its inspiration, few brought him more pride. In the last decade of his long and remarkable career Sir Georg Solti was conducting with more insight than ever, bringing an energy and an imaginative fire that was the envy of maestros half his age. This live recording from the Philharmonie am Gasteig in Munich finds him paired with the Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra – an ensemble perfectly in tune with Bruckner’s sound world, but every bit as brilliant (and as communicative) in Stravinsky’s dazzling, American-inspired Symphony in Three Movements.
