ANTON BRUCKNER Sinfonie in d-moll »Nullte« | 1869
Bruckner Orchester Linz | Markus Poschner
Although the work did not belong to the corpus of nine numbered symphonies which the composer had identified in his will as worthy of preservation in the imperial library, and for which he is best remembered, he did not destroy it. Hoping perhaps, to ensure that future generations would assess the symphony in what he considered its proper perspective, he wrote annotations at various places in the manuscript: »invalid« [ungiltig] »completely void« [ganz nichtig] and »annulled« [annulirt]. This new complete Bruckner Symphonies edition from Capriccio reassesses these enduringly enigmatic and complex works. Presented by the Bruckner Orchestra Linz and the ORF Vienna Radio Symphony Orchestra, and featuring all 19 available versions, the cycle is scheduled for completion in 2024, Bruckner’s 200th birthday.
#bruckner24 – ein gemeinsamen Projekt von Bruckner Orchester Linz, Radio-Symphonieorchester Wien und dem Label Capriccio unter der Leitung von Markus Poschner, das bis 2024 alle Sinfonien Anton Bruckners in allen Fassungen vorlegen wird.

REVIEWS
Bruckners Nullte, keine Nullnummer
Rating: 4.0
»Poschner and the Bruckner Orchestra Linz remain true to their chosen path and deliver a fresh und bright interpretation.«
Uwe Krusch
»This interpretation is wonderfully detailed, thoughtfully chamber-musical and, despite the brisk pace, very lyrical – this above all because of the clear, nuanced and warm orchestral sound.«
Guy Engels | Pizzicato | 04.02.2022
Ungültig, aber großartig
»… in einer herausragenden Interpretation.«
»Dass Bruckner für den Dirigenten ›eine Art Absprungpunkt in eine andere Welt‹ ist, beweist diese Aufnahme eindrucksvoll.«

A Thrilling, Epic Quality
»The Bruckner Orchester Linz plays superbly throughout and Markus Poschner’s enthusiasm for this music allows him to reveal details of orchestration that, maybe, were hitherto missed. This is a splendid third volume in Capriccio’s ongoing cycle of the complete Bruckner symphonies, in exciting sound quality and detailed annotations.«

Review: Bruckner Symphony No 0
»Recording quality and playing are both first-class, the woodwinds and brass especially eloquent in quieter passages.«

Video Review: The best of the worst?
»Why, oh why, do we not take Bruckner at his word? He discarded this symphony, and so should we. With that said, you won’t find a more knowing, intelligent performance than this one, from a conductor who clearly understands the work’s problems and does his very best to minimize them.«
