Norrkoping Symphony Orchestra; Karl-Heinz Steffens - Anton Bruckner: Symphony No. 9

Anton Bruckner's Ninth Symphony, his final and unfinished work, is a monumental testament to the composer's spiritual and musical vision. Combining towering orchestral power with profound introspection, it culminates in a deeply moving Adagio. Dedicated to the beloved God, the symphony reflects Bruckner's devout faith, featuring rich harmonies and extraordinary emotional depth. The Norrkoping Symphony Orchestra, founded in 1912, is one of Sweden's most distinguished orchestras, known not only for its interpretations of Nordic composers including Sibelius and Stenhammar, but also gaining acclaim for its Bruckner recordings. The orchestra regularly tours internationally and performs in its home, the Louis de Geer Concert Hall.
