About
Bruckner requests a favourable reception for his Fourth Symphony, commending the work in these terms: "It is the most accessible and popular of my works and was a huge success when performed in Vienna. As a consequence of a recent letter from Munich, our Emperor has begun to take an interest in me."
Critic reviews
“A superb contribution to Bruckner’s bicentenary year from Gerd Schaller, a performance of the composer’s Symphony No 4 that is full of poetry and a powerful sense of journey.”
Gramophone, Editor’s choice, September 2024
“Gerd Schaller’s recording of the Fourth in the 1888 version is a masterfully controlled, powerful and eloquent interpretation with a meticulous command of textures, from delicate pianissimos to the splendour of resounding brass climaxes.”
Pizzicato, 5 stars, June 2024

“Yet another magnificent recording of a Bruckner symphony by a conductor who has made a speciality of delivering as many versions of Bruckner’s glorious symphonies as public appetite demands, impeccably played here by a first-class orchestra recorded in excellent sound.”
MusicWeb International, Nominee for recording of the year, December 2024
“I enjoyed Poschner’s account of this version of this last version of Bruckner’s Fourth but I think Gerd Schaller’s pips it in terms of energy, sonority and coherence; it is as fine a live, modern account as any I know.”
