About

Premiered in Vienna on 26 February 1899 under the direction of Gustav Mahler, Bruckner's Sixth Symphony was never altered or revised by its composer, which shows his exceptional confidence in it. He was, indeed, especially proud of its compositional audacities, and nicknamed it Die Keckste (‘the cheekiest'). Right from its first performance it attracted attention for its visionary beauty.

In short, a top-quality product” - Robert Beale, Manchester Evening News, 25 November 2005

Like Klemperer, Nagano establishes moments of real gravitational pull, ensuring that the first movement’s critical passages are commandingly done. The slow movement is played with great solemnity, serious and fine, and the scherzo is more or less perfectly judged.” - Richard Osborne, The Gramophone, January 2006

Nagano’s conducting is alert and purposeful, bringing out the craggy power of the biggest passages while not overdoing them. And the orchestra’s members excel.” - Malcolm Hayes, Classic FM Magazine, February 2006
