Bruckner’s Symphony No. 7

Anton Bruckner’s Symphony No. 7 is the most widely played of the composer’s nine symphonies. The performance of this work in Leipzig in 1884 was a great success for Bruckner and signalled his major breakthrough as a composer of symphonies. Bruckner dedicated the magnificent Adagio to his idol Richard Wagner, an “immortal, beloved master”. Leopold Hager leads the Swedish Radio Symphony Orchestra.
