Episode 42: Anton Bruckner and his Ninth Symphony
Words like \u201cepic\u201d and \u201ctimeless\u201d are regularly applied to Bruckner symphonies. They have a pace of their own. But let yourself get in synch with their pulse, and you\u2019ll be richly rewarded. The Ninth inspires awe, as its sweeping score unfolds, rising\u2014like spires of a grand cathedral\u2014to God.
