Anton Bruckner, Psalm 150 and Symphony No. 6
The tone of Psalms 24 by Lili Boulanger and 150 by Anton Bruckner delivers the key word of the evening: elation. Just like the rays that shine through the stained-glass window of the Sixth Symphony, which gave its composer a hard time, dubbing it "the most shameless", the Brucknerian ingredients are nonetheless present, distilled in an Adagio rated "very solemn". Mirga Gražinytė-Tyla reveals Sutartinė by Lithuanian composer Romualdas Gražinis.
