Symphony in D minor, WAB 100 (“Nullte”)

No results found.

Symphony in D minor (“Nullte” or “No. 0”) – Though Bruckner later rejected this work, it shows his emerging symphonic voice. Written between his studies and First Symphony, it combines his characteristic brass chorales with moments of surprising drama. The slow movement particularly reveals his gift for lyrical expression and architectural grandeur.
Symphony No. 5 in C minor, Op. 67 (“Fate”)

No results found.

From its iconic four-note “fate knocking at the door” opening, this symphony captures humanity’s struggle against destiny. The journey from darkness to triumph unfolds across four movements, culminating in a blazing C major victory. The seamless transition from the brooding scherzo to the triumphant finale, aided by ghostly timpani beats, remains one of music’s most thrilling moments.
Symphony No. 6 in F major, Op. 68 (“Pastorale”)

No results found.

A love letter to nature, this symphony takes listeners on a walk through the countryside. Each movement paints a vivid scene: peasants dancing, birds singing by a brook, a violent thunderstorm, and finally a shepherd’s song of thanksgiving. It’s Beethoven at his most picturesque and serene, though the storm movement reminds us of nature’s awesome power
Symphony No. 7 in A major, Op. 92

No results found.

Wagner called it “the apotheosis of the dance” for good reason. The symphony pulses with irresistible rhythmic drive from start to finish. Its haunting second movement, with its hypnotic ostinato, became so popular it was often performed separately. The whirling finale builds to a state of near-frenzied ecstasy.
Symphony No. 8 in F major, Op. 93

No results found.

Symphony No. 8 in F major stands as one of Beethoven’s most delightfully irreverent creations. Written during a surprisingly cheerful period in 1812, it sparkles with wit and mischief. The symphony opens with a burst of pure joy, leading to a second movement that gleefully parodies the mechanical tick-tock of the newly-invented metronome. The brief but graceful minuet gives way to a finale that’s pure comic genius
Symphony No. 9 in D minor, Op. 125

No results found.

Beethoven’s final symphony is a monumental journey from darkness to light. Opening with mysterious trembling strings, it builds through a fierce scherzo and sublime slow movement before launching into the revolutionary final movement. Here, for the first time in symphony history, voices join the orchestra in the “Ode to Joy” – a passionate cry for universal brotherhood that has become a symbol of hope and unity.

The Orchestra

Tiroler Symphonieorchester Innsbruck (TSOI)

The Tyrolean Symphony Orchestra Innsbruck (TSOI) was founded in 1893 on the occasion of the first Tyrolean State Exhibition by music association teacher Martin Spörr – later co-founder and director of the Vienna Symphony Orchestra. Music greats such as Otmar Suitner, Hans Knappertsbusch and Leonie Rysanek performed with the orchestra in Innsbruck. Since then, the TSOI has performed with a long series of soloists and guest conductors of international renown and, in addition to cultivating the classical concert repertoire, has premiered numerous works – especially by Austrian composers.
