I personally believe that Bruckner is the greatest composer after Beethoven. It is not excessive to describe his nine numbered symphonies as the nine planets of our solar system. Along with the two early symphonies, they will twinkle and last in our universe forever. Here are the stories of how these symphonies were composed, with many recommendations of performances.

— Moon

— Neptune

— Uranus

— Mercury

— Earth

— Saturn

— Mars

— Venus

— Jupiter

— Pluto
