NDR Elbphilharmonie Orchestra / Alan Gilbert

A fortnight before the NDR Elbphilharmonie Orchestra embarks on its big tour of Asia, Alan Gilbert conducts works from the multifaceted tour programme in Hamburg. In the first of two concerts, we hear Bruckner’s Seventh Symphony in the bright key of E major – this was the work that finally brought its composer his international breakthrough –, while in Bruckner’s famous Adagio he bade farewell to his great idol Richard Wagner.
