BRUCKNER, A.: Te Deum (Landshamer, Harmsen, Behle, Selig, WDR Chor, SWR Vokalensemble, SWR Symphonieorchester, Heras-Casado)

When Anton Bruckner premiered his Te Deum at the Vienna Musikverein in 1886, he later referred to it as the “pride of my life.” This rare display of self-assurance is striking, given that Bruckner was otherwise known for his artistic self-doubt and frequently revised his compositions. But in this case, he was certain–and the critics agreed: the Te Deum became one of his greatest successes, surpassing even many of his symphonies in public acclaim.

The recording was made in 2024 and brings together an outstanding cast of highly acclaimed singers under the direction of a conductor of international standing. The EP is a pre-relese of the full album SWR19168CD, scheduled for February 13.
