Tracklist
01. Symphony No. 4 in E-Flat Major, WAB 104, "Romantic": I. Bewegt, nicht zu schnell
02. Symphony No. 4 in E-Flat Major, WAB 104, "Romantic": II. Andante, quasi allegretto
03. Symphony No. 4 in E-Flat Major, WAB 104, "Romantic": III. Scherzo. Bewegt
04. Symphony No. 4 in E-Flat Major, WAB 104, "Romantic": IV. Finale, "Volksfest". Allegro moderato
ruckner completed the score of the Third Symphony on the night of New Year's Eve 1873, and directly began working on the sketches for the first movement of the Fourth on January 2 1974. He completed it after eleven months ‘at about half-past eight in the evening’ of November 22, 1874. Yet ‘completed’ was often a relative state in Bruckner's case. In 1878 he created a second version, replacing the scherzo with a new one, the Hunting Scherzo, and composing a new final movement with the title Volksfest (traditional fair). The Volksfest is consequently the original final movement of the second version. The next revision of 1880, later edited prior to publication, represented a completely new final movement. Together with the first three movements of the second version, this finale of 1880 formed the final version, which was published in November 1889 after renewed revision. Bruckner himself called the Fourth his ‘Romantic’ symphony, making it the only one to have a name. The present recording is based on the edition of Prof. William Carragan, which is oriented towards the Nowak Edition. It is shorter and much catchier than the version performed normally. The strings have the upper hand here instead of the brass, but the four horns do resurface with reminiscences of the first movement.
