Symphony no. 8

Album by Anton Bruckner & Eliahu Inbal & Tokyo Metropolitan Symphony Orchestra

Symphony No. 8 is the eighth symphony by Austrian composer Anton Bruckner, completed in 1887. The work is a large-scale late-Romantic orchestral composition characterised by expansive structure, dense harmonic language, prominent brass and string textures and dramatic dynamic contrasts, and it represents the culmination of Bruckner's symphonic development and a central example of his mature style in the late nineteenth-century repertoire.
