Anton Bruckner and Johannes Brahms, whose lives in Vienna overlapped for some 20 years, are regarded as the most important German-speaking symphonists of the late Romantic period – and as antipodes with accordingly low opinions of one another. In addition to many of Bruckner’s symphonies, the Berliner Philharmoniker will perform Brahms’ Fourth this season. Chamber music by both composers will also be juxtaposed: Brahms was the more productive composer, but Bruckner also left behind several exquisite small works, including a lush string quintet.
