His admiration of the works of the German composer Richard Wagner is seen in his use of entire families of instruments in his orchestrations to create chorale-like effects. Bruckner's works further influenced the Austrian composer Gustav Mahler, who was one of his pupils. This program provides a rare glimpse of Bruckner's life and work, and features performances of his music by the Vienna and Munich Philharmonic Orchestras. ~ Kathryn Tamms, Rovi
