Default Anton Bruckner - Symphony No. 4 "Romantic"

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gljRZ-3BlcM

Anton Bruckner's Symphony No. 4 in E-flat major is one of the composer's most popular works. It was written in 1874 and revised several times through 1888. It was dedicated to Prince Konstantin of Hohenlohe-Schillingsfürst. It was premiered in 1881 by Hans Richter in Vienna with great success.
The symphony's nickname of Romantic was used by the composer himself. It does not refer to the modern conception of romantic love but rather the medieval romance as depicted in the operas Lohengrin and Siegfried of Richard Wagner.
The symphony has four movements:

I. Bewegt, nicht zu schnell
II. Andante, quasi allegretto
III. Scherzo. Bewegt - Trio: Nicht zu schnell
IV. Finale: Bewegt, doch nicht zu schnell

Conductor: Heinz Rogner
Orchestra: Rundfunk-Sinfonie-Orchester Berlin
