Episode 216: 18216 Bruckner: Symphony No. 3 in D minor, WAB 103

Anton Bruckner's Symphony No. 3 in D minor, WAB 103, was dedicated to Richard Wagner and is sometimes known as his "Wagner Symphony".  It was written in 1873, revised in 1877, and again in 1889. This is the 1889 version.

The work has been characterized as "difficult", and is regarded by some as Bruckner's artistic breakthrough.  According to Rudolf Kloiber, the third symphony "opens the sequence of Bruckner's masterpieces, in which his creativity meets monumental ability of symphonic construction."  The work is notorious as the most-revised of Bruckner's symphonies, and there exist no fewer than six versions, with three of them being widely performed today.
