Anton Bruckner dedicated his Ninth Symphony to 鈥渕y beloved God鈥�. At the end of a lifetime鈥檚 spiritual striving, he poured both his unquenchable faith and his agonising doubts into one mighty final testament 鈥� and then died before he could complete it. In his first Edinburgh concert as Chief Conductor, Thomas Dausgaard offers one possible answer to Bruckner鈥檚 eternal question. This moving new completion of the unfinished symphony has been championed by Sir Simon Rattle, and after Dausgaard鈥檚 inspirational Bruckner performances in recent years, it should be a powerful way to launch a new chapter in the history of the 成人快手 SSO 鈥� especially when paired with another valedictory work, Mozart鈥檚 final piano concerto in the masterful hands of Imogen Cooper.
