“This was a real triumph....The pianists displayed extraordinary skill of ensemble and of recreation of orchestral sound....The piano cannot create the full range of orchestral dynamics, but the pianists used every resource of energy and attack to bring the great climaxes to life....so the whole symphony seemed to be wonderfully transported, with a rolling, rarely interrupted rhythmic overlay....[But] never before has the formal clarity of the Finale been displayed to me with such focus and coherence....The two great waves of Carragan’s coda attained considerable dramatic power, the symphony sounded complete, its finish positive and triumphant. The audience responded with a standing ovation for the completer (William Carragan) and the superlative performers!”
– Ken Ward, Editor, The Bruckner Journal, November 2015
