The German conductor
Giinter Wand is universally recognised as one of the world's finest Bruckner interpreters. During a career spanning six decades he has developed a special affinity with the spiritual world of Anton Bruckner. Tonight, he conducts the BBC
Symphony Orchestra in Bruckner's towering Fifth Symphony, a work which in its massive span encompasses earthy humour, energy and serene beauty, and builds up to one of the most powerful musical conclusions.
Introduced by Michael Berkeley.
