The Anton Bruckner Music Mix

Anton Bruckner was famous for his cathedral-like symphonies and obsession with death. Hear his devotional music and listen to the musicians who inspired his unique musical sound.

Anton Bruckner, famous for his gargantuan symphonies, OCD and obsession with death, tested the architectural boundaries of classical music.

His cathedrals of sound can be heard in this playlist alongside colleagues he found so inspiring that he had to touch their skulls: Beethoven and Schubert. A deeply devout man, we hear his roots in church music as well as being caught in the crossfire of the 鈥榃ar of the Romantics鈥�, with music from Clara Schumann and Johannes Brahms.
