An organist by training, Bruckner wasn’t compelled to dedicate his life to composition until he heard Wagner’s opera <i>Tannhäuser</i> for the first time at age 38. A humble, religious man from a village that is now a suburb of Linz, Austria, Bruckner was awestruck by the composer. The “Adagio” from his <i>Symphony No. 7 in E Major</i> was composed in tribute to Wagner at the time of his final illness and death. (In it, Bruckner uses Wagner tubas, marking the first time they were ever used in a symphony.) Here, Andris Nelsons and the Gewandhausorchester give a fresh and exciting performance of this hefty work and throw in a bonus track by Bruckner's idol, “Siegfried’s Funeral March”, which occurs during the third act of <i>Götterdämmerung</i>, the concluding, fourth part of Wagner’s epic <i>The Ring</i> cycle. It’s presented by Nelsons and his orchestra in this live recording with lyrical precision and powerful emotion.
