#classicalmusic Symphony No. 7 in E Major, WAB 107 (1881-83): 1- Allegro moderato — Bruckner, Anton (1824-1896) — Sergiu Celibidache/ Berlin Philharmonic

A particularly spacious and delicate performance. The extremely long and lyrical main theme enters glistening on the cellos. Pieces of the theme are parsed through the orchestra for development and contrast. The development reaches a poignant climax over a pedal from the basses, and is followed by a glorious "sunrise" coda.
First movement scored for 2 flutes, 2 oboes, 2 clarinets in A, 2 bassoons, 4 horns in F, 3 trumpets in F, 3 trombones, tuba, 2 timpani, violins, violas, violoncellos, and double basses.
