Anton Bruckner (1824-1896)

This year marks the 200th birthday of this great Austrian composer. Here you can see the Bruckner bust in Vienna's Stadtpark, which was unveiled three years after Bruckner's death.

 

Bruckner ‘was an Austrian composer of the Romantic period as well as an organist and university teacher. Only recognised by his contemporaries late in life, he was nevertheless one of the most important and innovative composers of his time and his works had a great influence on music history well into the 20th century.

His most important and probably best-known compositions are his large-scale eleven symphonies.’
