Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra & Baiba Skride: Bruckner

About the Event

Acclaimed Latvian violinist Baiba Skride joins the orchestra for Victoria Borisova‐Ollas' A Portrait of a Lady by Swan Lake for violin and orchestra (World Premiere).

Anton Bruckner’s voluminous and grandiose symphonies never cease to amaze. According to Bruckner, the opening sound of the horn in the fourth symphony symbolises the arrival of dawn after a long night’s rest. From this simple theme, a fascinating and multifaceted symphonic landscape emerges, where the entire harmonic register of the orchestra is put to use. As always with Bruckner, the balance between the overarching musical architecture and the smaller details is exquisitely even. This is his most played and beloved symphony, and he was the one who referred to it as “the Romantic” symphony.
