Anton Bruckner — Symphony No. 7 in E major WAB 107
Two composers lived, worked, and died in Vienna. One was a paragon of classicism; the other a mystic. One loved the nightlife and applied exceptional technique to a visceral understanding of the human condition. The other was intensely pious and riddled with self-doubt. Yet a kinship exists between the two. Born 68 years apart, these visionary artists helped define the essence of one of the world’s great musical capitals. This week, ASO music director Nathalie Stutzmann welcomes pianist Sunwook Kim, winner of the Leeds International Piano Competition in 2006, at just 18 years old.
After intermission, the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra pulls out all the stops for Anton Bruckner’s muscular, mysterious, and awe-inspiring Symphony No. 7. This performance is part of a two-week celebration of Bruckner in 2024.
