The Fifth Symphony is a work with which Anton Bruckner fought for public recognition.

Kirill Petrenko conducts Bruckner with the Berliner Philharmoniker for the first time.

Kirill Petrenko presents the six symphonic poems of the cycle, each of which takes us into very different Romantic sound worlds – sometimes majestic, sometimes dramatic, sometimes lyrical, but always full of Bohemian musical elan. The best-known work from it is undoubtedly The Moldau, a lively, folkloric tone poem that portrays the river of the same name.
