The most spacious main theme of symphonic history in sunny E major: summer landscape, home, billowing wheat fields, shining baroque architecture. Wagner's death-throes, “breakthrough chord”, funeral music, loneliness, confidence, stair-way to heaven. Once the Seventh has conquered the world, the world returns to its source as a guest. Bruckner’s place of power, monastery St. Florian has its own space / time dimensions. “For Anton Bruckner, the world will not be ready until it has to flee to him.” (Ernst Kurth 1907). Come to the Seventh, the thematic arc of the week. For an adventure trip. Just now. Find confidence in Bruckner’s Seventh. If the Seventh reflects a zenith in Bruckner's life, then in the concert of 2018 it is also an axis monument for the Bruckner Days and the history of interpretation: the world's first major Bruckner cycle from his home of St. Florian, with the Altomonte Orchestra and OÖJSO under Rémy Ballot – since 2013 award-winning: nos. 3, 8, 9, 6, 5 – has now reached the middle of our long-term timetable with this year's no.7: the “Gramola Bruckner Days CD Box” is already half-full!
