The Austrian composer, Anton Bruckner (1824-1896), composed some of the most inspiring, the most ennobling, the most profound music in the ‘classical music’ repertoire.  His symphonies are large-scale, filled with dramatic and intense emotion, beautiful, humane and deeply mysterious; his sacred choral music ranks amongst the most profoundly moving ever written.
