A fine example of Bruckner’s heroic symphonic structures, the Seventh is in the usual four long movements (except for the Scherzo). It starts off with a long tremolo, a favorite Bruckner device. A long and noble melody is heard next, which the composer said came to him in a dream – although it quotes part his own Mass in D Minor! The Adagio was the composer’s funeral composition for Richard Wagner and it marks the first time Wagner tubas were used in a symphonic work. There are four of them plus a bass tuba, for a very rich and very low end sound. The finale is related to the opening movement and is a big symphonic movement introducing a hymn-like melody. The symphony very first theme returns at the end for a fulfilling conclusion. The way Bruckner worked with repetition is different from all other composers. At times he seems to be almost prophesying Philip Glass in getting the most emotion possible out of a repeated passage, and then just when you are about ready to say uncle there is a tension-releasing progression to a new section. He’s quite different from Mahler in this regard. There are no notes on the Saito Kinen Orchestra but as I recall it one of the major ones in Japan and Ozawa has a close relationship with it. Their playing is polished and expressive, but I find Gunter Wand and Bernard Haitink more emotional and exciting. The multichannel sonics are enveloping and effective.
