To mark the Bruckner anniversary, the Berliner Philharmoniker and Kirill Petrenko are taking on the most ambiguous of Bruckner’s symphonies, his Fifth. Some call it “The Tragic” and believe that it reflects the adverse life circumstances of this composer from Upper Austria, who had to fight so hard for recognition in the capital Vienna. Others call it the “Catholic” or the “Symphony of Faith” because Bruckner deploys so many chorales here. Orchestras like to refer to the Fifth as the “Pizzicato Symphony,” and anyone who has heard the work immediately understands why. Even the world of soccer has a claim on the Fifth: in the Champions League, ardent fans have been known to erupt in a battle cry that is suspiciously reminiscent of the main theme from the first movement. What about Bruckner himself? He spoke of his “Fantastic” but unfortunately did not explain the reason behind this. What is known for sure is that Bruckner’s Fifth is crafted with extreme skill: the two outer movements begin with the same material, and the two inner movements mirror this process. A marvel, in other words. It doesn’t get better than having a world-class orchestra like the “Berliner” play it.
