Sir Simon Rattle conducts the Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra in an exhilarating programme of Janáček and Bruckner.
Bruckner said that the beginning of his Seventh Symphony came to him in a dream, played by an angel. This huge, glowing mountain-range of sound is basically soul music by any other name.
Sir Simon Rattle, Principal Conductor of the Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra says 'conducting Bruckner is a lifelong quest for some ‘extraordinary vista, some wonderful moment which leads you out of this world’.
