- Summary:
- Over a century after his death, Anton Bruckner remains an enigma. Popular anecdotes represent him as a visionary simpleton, his life dominated exclusively by music and religion. Yet this same bizarre figure is widely held to have produced some of the most original sophisticated music written in the second half of the nineteenth century. The reminiscences collected in Bruckner Remembered allow insights into a complicated, sometimes tormented mind riddled by dark obsessions and spiritual doubts, creating a profile that is as tantalizing as it is illuminating.
