Philharmonie Berlin, Main Auditorium (Berlin)
Bruckner was not only a fantastic organist—some of his habits were also quite strange. He loved to count: rocks, leaves on trees, beads, windows on house fronts ... But his symphonies were a different thing: though he composed eleven, he acknowledged only nine of them. And even with those, he was not initially successful; the Seventh from 1884 was the first to take off. Robin Ticciati has conducted many of them, and has continued to programme them since his DSO debut with the Fourth. For Ticciati, Bruckner is a »real person with a beating heart«.
