In Anton Bruckners 7th Symphony, the listener encounters a music characterized by great spaciousness & profound solemnity, a music which speaks of grief & lamentation, but also of their transcendence. With its monumental architecture & intensity of sound, the symphony has moved listeners ever since its triumphal premiere in 1884. The Guardian calls Daniel Barenboims London interpretation Tremendous.. . Barenboim & the Staatskapelle seem to have this work in their systems, & the overall impression was of music unfolding organically at its own pace rather than of a work being self-consciously interpreted or led.
