Exploring Music with Bill McGlaughlin
Symphony, Part IV
We start this week featuring the symphonic form at its Romantic apex, with Austrian composers Anton Bruckner and Gustav Mahler. Then we’ll head over to Britain to enjoy the music of Edward Elgar. Together, these three composers wrote 22 symphonies, which is impressive considering Bruckner didn’t compose his first until his forties, and Elgar was turning fifty! Get ready for a week filled with vivid, colorful orchestral symphonies.
