Nelsons: Bruckner - Symphony no. 5

Nelsons conducts Bruckner’s majestic Fifth Symphony. Variously referred to as the ‘Tragic’, ‘Church of Faith’ or because of its opening string sound, the ‘Pizzicato’ Symphony, Bruckner drives each moment forward to a breath-taking final movement propelled by increasingly intricate fugal melodies and stunning chorale.
