Bruckner’s musical language is unique – grand-gestured but contemplative, deeply human while gazing at the heavens. If Mahler is a supreme sceptic about our place in the universe, Bruckner’s music celebrates the bond between human life and the profound joy of spiritual belief.
From the shimmering mystery of its opening to its heaven-storming final moments, Bruckner’s Fourth Symphony is full of musical wonders, which ANAM musicians will explore as part of this special concert with the Tasmanian Symphony Orchestra under its chief conductor Eivind Aadland.
The concert begins with Beethoven’s lively Piano Concerto No.2, performed by the remarkable Nobuyuki Tsujii, a Van Cliburn gold medalist known for his exceptional artistry despite being visually impaired.
