Symphony 8

Album by Anton Bruckner & Wiener Philharmoniker & Christian Thielemann

Symphony No. 8 is the eighth symphony by Austrian composer Anton Bruckner, completed in 1887. The work is a large-scale late-Romantic symphony characterised by expansive orchestral textures, dense polyphony, broad dynamic contrasts and adventurous harmonic development, and it occupies a central place in Bruckner's symphonic output as one of his most substantial late works.
