Bruckner: Symphony No. 4 “Romantic”

Bruckner’s works are vast, of epic design, and on a monumental scale, often entering into the realm of the grandiose and sublime. Bruckner himself gave the title Romantic to the 4th Symphony. He meant this not in the modern, emotional sense, but suggesting a medieval story of love and chivalry. The SFSO celebrates its 15th Anniversary with its first performance ever of a Bruckner Symphony.
