Konzerthausorchester Berlin, Iván Fischer

Iván Fischer

Of light and shadow: The 19-year-old Franz Schubert's third symphony in D major, which is cheerful and at times like a folk song, was written for a private circle in 1815 and probably premiered there, is followed by Anton Bruckner's tragic last work, his unfinished ninth in D minor. He worked on the finale of this symphony, which continues the weighty tradition of its eight predecessors, until his death in 1896. He fervently hoped to be able to finish the last movement and even spoke of it to his doctor. Because the apartment was sealed too late after his death, all kinds of authorized and unauthorized persons immediately pounced on the existing manuscript pages. Its creator, however, had finally realized that his strength and time would not be enough to complete it. He therefore decreed that his “Te Deum”, completed twelve years earlier, should be played instead of the fourth movement. However, the symphony is often simply performed unfinished. Incidentally, Iván Fischer and the Konzerthausorchester already played Bruckner's monumental Ninth in 2013.
