Programme:
Anton Bruckner Symphony No. 9 in D minor
‘To the beloved God’
“To the beloved God” is the dedication that Bruckner inscribed on the score of his Symphony No. 9 in D minor. He intended this symphony, which remained unfinished at the time of his death in 1896, as his final and most profound musical offering to God. It conveys a deep sense of spirituality and contemplation, especially in its Adagio movement, embodying Bruckner’s religious beliefs and his lifelong quest for divine connection through music. Sergey Smbatyan leads the MPO in this majestic work, which despite its incomplete fourth movement, is considered a masterpiece of the symphonic repertoire.
