Remy Ballot has put the St Florian Bruckner Days firmly on the Festival Map with his live recordings of 10 Bruckner symphonies over the last 10 years. With the cycle being the reference recording at the Austrian National Library’s jubliee Bruckner Exhibition, Remy Ballot returned to the jubliee edition of the most authentic of all Bruckner festivals to conduct the 9th symphony. Felix Diergarten introduced the existing fragments of the last movement, prior to a performance of the existing complete 3 movements.

According to critics, ‘Ballot is primarily concerned with the broad structures of this great music. He implements the harmonic instability of this work in the border area between atonal and totally chromatic forms extremely successfully.’
