Not surprisingly, the score was subjected to extensive revisions. The Fourth, in fact, represents the most convoluted revision history of all his symphonies – and this for a composer for whom variant editions of a work, often involving substantial changes, became the norm. The result is that the identification of the “authentic” final score that should be performed is a matter of ongoing debate for many of his symphonies – in particular the Fourth.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFranz Welser-Möst, the Music Director of The Cleveland Orchestra and General Music Director of the Vienna State Opera, is an acknowledged Bruckner specialist who has developed a passion for the composer’s Fourth Symphony – called the “Romantic” by its creator – in its infrequently played first edition (1888\/89).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Cleveland Orchestra, called the most European of America’s prestige formations, has been setting new standards in Bruckner interpretation for several years now through the “expertise” of Franz Welser-Möst, who “elicits a grandiose interpretation from his technically unsurpassable ensemble … It was an excellent concert … as anticipated.” (Austria’s leading daily, Die Presse).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSound Format: PCM Stereo, DD 5.0, dts-HD Master Audio 5.0\u003cbr\u003ePicture Format: 16:9, 1080i FULL HD\u003cbr\u003eFormat: NTSC\u003cbr\u003eRunning Time: 74 mins\u003cbr\u003eFSK: 0\u003cbr\u003eRegion Code: 0 (DVD)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56441507643766,"sku":"0807280168297","price":11.94,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/orig_509255_1372460_jpg_e8fdebb8-fd6b-4bdc-99ea-37f5f5de7a67.jpg?v=1760395914","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/0807280168297-sinfonia-n4-romantica","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
