1h 45m
In many ways, Joseph Haydn and Anton Bruckner are polar opposites. Haydn was a natural talent, while Bruckner was a late bloomer. Haydn was self-assured, while Bruckner was plagued by insecurity and often plodded along laboriously. However, both produced outstanding music as evidenced by Haydn’s energetic Cello Concerto performed here by Norwegian cellist Truls Mørk and by Bruckner’s well-balanced symphony, the ‘Romantic’, led by Mariss Jansons with the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra.
