Bruckner's contrapuntal masterpiece
Günter Wand (1912-2002), one of Bruckner's most distinguished connoisseurs and interpreters, counted the Fifth Symphony (along with the Ninth) among the composer's »most authentic« symphonies. Here, »where Bruckner's distance from the world becomes clearer than anywhere else«, he shows himself to be »completely uninfluenced« by any models and whisperers. Posterity occasionally gave the work, which its creator himself never heard played by an orchestra, strange epithets or paraphrases such as »faith symphony« or »Catholic«. Bruckner himself called his Fifth the »Fantastic« or his »contrapuntal masterpiece«. For a long time, the symphony remained in the repertoire in an arrangement by Franz Schalk, in which it was also premiered in a mutilated form. (It was even performed again and again in this form at the Vienna Konzerthaus until the end of the 1980s). Today, however, Bruckner's original idea has prevailed, and of course only original voice material is on the consoles in the concerts of the Vienna Symphony Orchestra under Lahav Shani.
