Workshop 2025
8th February 2025 at Festival Hall, Alderley Edge. 10.15 am - 5.00 pm.
Premiered in Leipzig in December 1884, the Seventh Symphony was a turning point
in Bruckner’s career. It was a triumph, and In the words of a leading critic of the day “Bruckner’s special world of slow moving intensity, overpowering climaxes, and intimate
lyricism nowhere found a more coherent or beautiful statement than in the
Seventh Symphony.” It remains to this day one of Bruckner’s most popular symphonies. Composed on a huge scale, performances typically last
between 70 and 80 minutes in length.
The instrumentation is: 2 flutes, 2 oboes, 2 clarinets, 2 bassoons, 4 horns, 3
trumpets, 3 trombones, 4 Wagner tubas, tuba, timpani, and strings.
