Episode Info
Bruckner Symphony No. 4 features The Cleveland Orchestra conducted by Music Director Franz Welser-Möst in an infrequently performed edition (1888/89, arranged by Benjamin Korstvedt). Presented by WVIZ/PBS ideastream in Cleveland, the program was recorded in 2012 at the beautiful 17th century baroque Abbey of St. Florian in Austria. The Abbey has a direct connection to the composer: he served there as a chorister and later as the Abbey’s organist. Although he later moved to Vienna, Bruckner chose to be buried in a crypt below the Abbey of St. Florian.
