Symphony No. 3 in D minor

The creation of this version of Bruckner's Symphony III coincides with the time when the master was intensively occupied with the remodelling of his Symphony VIII. Bruckner used the printed edition from 1878 as the basis for the reworking of the 1st, 2nd and 3rd movements; for the extremely abridged finale, he used a copy made by Franz Schalk. The performance on 21 December 1890 with the Vienna Philharmonic under Hans Richter was a complete success.
