Bruckner's secret

The collegiate basilica of St. Florian is inscribed with a Bruckner aura that cannot be found in any other place in the world. Therefore, performances of Bruckner's music in this magnificent church space become an event in themselves. In St. Florian, the Bruckner Orchestra Linz and Markus Poschner also devote themselves decidedly to the later symphonies, which seem to be particularly aware of a transcendent mystery.
