| | Anton Bruckner: Symphony No. 6 (Tintner) |
 | | Bruckner wrote a ghostly counterpoint for the clarinet to second the violins. | | | Bruckner thought of the symphony as his boldest, and the 6th was one of the few symphonies of which Bruckner never wrote wholesale revisions. | | | Bruckner seems consumed by this melody, as it is brought back again and again. |

| | Notes on four Bruckner Motets |
| | Anton Bruckner is known to classical music buffs as a peasant savant symphonist, the "master-builder of cathedrals in sound" who was deeply influenced by Wagner's grand operas and who served in turn as an inspiration for Gustav Mahler. | | | Bruckner's sacred music isn't nearly as extensively recorded as his nine symphonies. | | | For Traumihler, Bruckner created an extraordinary motet in the Lydian mode, which achieves striking harmonic effects without ever using a single sharp or flat note. |

| | Anton Bruckner |
| | And Bruckner composed for a cathedral acoustic that's absent from today's concert halls and recording studios; where he left pauses to allow his huge reverberations to die away, we hear nothing (though the answer here might be to fix the acoustic rather than charge through the pauses). | | | No question that Bruckner belongs to Austria (not Germany) and had an affinity with Schubert, or that his religious mode should be celebratory (just listen to the opening outburst of the Credo from the F-minor Mass). | | | The Nazis were as clueless about Bruckner's music as they were about Mahler's. |

| | Bruckner received lessons in the violin from his father at the age of four, and took his first formal schooling in music theory at the age of eleven. | | | Though born to peasants, Bruckner came to music early in life. | | | The premiere of the "Wagner" symphony, as Bruckner called it, was a disaster. |

| | Anton Bruckner: Symphony No. 1 and Mass No. 3 |
| | Bruckner reported that Bülow was delighted by the symphony's "beautiful ideas" but horrified by the boldness with which Bruckner developed them. | | | Other musical highlights of the symphony include the sturdy treading march of the C-minor opening theme, the simple lyricism of the first movement's second theme, the bursting energy of the Scherzo, and the telling use of horns and timpani throughout the symphony. | | | Bruckner's Wagnerian encounter seems to have left an audible trace in this symphony. |

| | Anton Bruckner |
| | Bruckner was never a culturally refined man. He was a provincial "school teacher" who came to Vienna but was never accepted by Vienna's high-class, and the music critics always showed severe problems to appreciate his music. | | | I have been listening to Bruckner's 9th since I was 15 years old, and have heard many recordings that sound more like jokes. | | | Bruckner's music is difficult to hear, and can be heavy and boring. |

| | Wagner's music is restless, sensual and propulsive, while Bruckner demands that we enter his symphonies in much the same way we would enter a house of worship — to reflect and meditate within the extraordinary sound space that the composer has prepared for us. | | | Watch your fellow listeners at a performance of a Bruckner symphony sometime. | | | Time is suspended; a great Bruckner performance calls to mind a long, fervent prayer that is in the process of being answered even as we listen. |

| | It is probable that the impression produced by this 9th symphony is the deeper as owing little or nothing to the musical politics which had gone far to prevent the 7th symphony from standing on its own unmistakable merits. | | | This 9th symphony is designed, with characteristic tactlessness and simplicity, to follow Beethoven's 9th symphony in every possible point which could challenge comparison; in key (D minor), opening (mysterious tremolo leading to tremendous unison tutti), contrasts (return in first movement) and choral finale. | | | Bruckner wished this to be appended to the three complete movements of his 9th symphony, which his last illness (ending in his death at Vienna on the 11th of October 1896) prevented him from finishing. |

| | Bruckner was a deeply devout man, and it is not by chance that his symphonies have been compared to cathedrals in their scale and their grandeur and in their aspiration to the sublime. | | | From no.3 onwards, Bruckner's symphonies each end with a restatement of the work's opening theme. | | | Only in the 1880s did he enjoy real success, in particular with Symphony no.7; his music began to be performed in Germany and elsewhere, and he received many honours as well as grants from patrons and the Austrian government. |
