The program, taped in 2012 at the beautiful 17th century baroque Abbey of St. Florian in Austria, finds The Orchestra under the direction of Franz Welser-Möst performing Bruckner’s most popular and most-performed work, one that was nicknamed by Bruckner himself as his “romantic” symphony. The location of the performance is particularly notable in that the composer was a choirboy at the monastery of St. Florian, later served there as organist and chose to be buried in a crypt below the Abbey.
