Pittsburgh’s Tribune-Review Reviews PSO and Manfred Honeck’s Bruckner: Symphony No. 9

  • Bruckner: Symphony No. 9

“The spiritual richness of Bruckner’s symphonies is unmistakable, yet Honeck’s interpretation breaks new ground in understanding the specific connection between musical ideas and religious meaning. His program notes for the new CD are a practical guide to the music which make it easy to correlate his words with his performance. … The proof of Honeck’s verbal interpretation is the enthralling performance he leads. It is a bold performance marked in part by extremes – the very loud and the very soft, slow pacing and tremendous speed (in the middle section of the second movement), and immense power and meekness. Yet it is the nuance with which Honeck and the musicians tell the story which most touches the heart. Honeck’s Bruckner Ninth is a performance of the utmost devotion and conviction which reaches the most transcendent heights when speaking softly. … The orchestra sounds fabulous, every section and every soloist playing perfectly attuned to the spirit of the music.”

—Mark Kanny, Tribune-Review
