The tour-de-force of a finale gives us an idea of what the finale of the Ninth might have been like. It's magnificent dark and halting opening with the descending bass line - so effectively recalled in the finale - is inimitable. Although long available only in a disfigured version by Franz Schalk, it is also distinct for never having been the subject to revision or, perhaps, even doubt on the part of Bruckner - who never heard it performed with an orchestra. And yet, when Bruckner wrote this masterpiece, he was still far from establishing himself as a composer in Vienna and his spirits were as low as ever, writing a friend that \"my life has lost all joy and delight - in vain and for nothing.\" A radiant pinnacle from amid darkness.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTracks:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.1 Adagio - Allegro [18:09] \u003cbr\u003e1.2 Adagio [15:38] \u003cbr\u003e1.3 Scherzo: Molto vivace [13:28] \u003cbr\u003e1.4 Finale: Adagio - Allegro moderato [23:40\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"ORF Vienna Radio Symphony Orchestra","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40625847402567,"sku":"43852321","price":21.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2976\/0132\/files\/4253163-3144786_572b77be-ff3a-4e55-8c1b-91d36856c43e.jpg?v=1712492372","url":"https:\/\/tower.com\/products\/bruckner-orf-vienna-radio-symphony-orchestra-symphony-no-5","provider":"Tower Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
