Bruckner’s Sixth Symphony is one of the most original of all the composer’s works. Its contrasting moods and overarching theme moving from darkness to light can be haunting one moment and ecstatic the next, culminating in one of the most enigmatic symphonic conclusions of the 19th century. For this recording with the London Symphony Orchestra, Sir Simon Rattle conducts the Benjamin-Gunnar Cohrs Urtext edition of the score.
