- Synopsis:
The first in-depth documentary about a long time underestimated composer by Reiner E. Moritz Underestimated by his contemporaries, but today acclaimed as one of the greatest and imaginative composers of his time. Anton Bruckner was a genius of tones. Such great conductors like Kent Nagano, Valery Gergiev and Simon Rattle let the composer come alive in the documentary „Anton Bruckner: The Making of a Giant" telling the ups and downs of life through his music. Using the opportunity of drawing on Gergiev's recording of the Bruckner Cycle with the Munich Philharmonic, contributions from the Florianer Sängerknaben, organists at St. Florian Linz and the Vienna Court Chapel as well as the conductor of the Linzer Singakademie, we gain insights into the work of the composer. We visit his birthplace, hear about his teaching assignments, his triumphs as organist in France and England, his relationship with Wagner and the difficult times in Vienna, where he spent the latter part of his life. - Actors:
