Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment Principal Artist Sir Simon Rattle returns for new musical adventures.
Having been associated with the Orchestra almost since its inception, Sir Simon Rattle joins the the OAE's 30th birthday celebrations.
In another OAE first, he leads the Orchestra in a performance of Bruckner.
Although Bruckner's Sixth Symphony is considered one of his lighter works, it maintains the depth and majesty that are associated with many of his compositions.
It is accompanied by the Mahler-like Scherzo from Symphony in E by Hans Rott, a composer who studied organ with Bruckner himself.
