We take you on a journey through musical styles from the Viennese Classicism of Haydn’s Summer through Schubert’s Rosamunde to Bruckner, one of the major late 19 th century Romantic composers. The span covers some 70 years of Austria’s history when Haydn and Schubert were deeply affected by the disruption of the Napoleonic wars and Bruckner, a profound pacifist, attempted to shut out his contemporary world.
