Symphony no. 8

Album by Anton Bruckner & Berliner Philharmoniker & Lorin Maazel

Symphony No. 8 is the eighth symphony by Austrian composer Anton Bruckner, completed in 1887. The work is a large-scale late-Romantic orchestral symphony characterised by expansive formal architecture, dense chromatic harmony and powerful brass-and-strings writing, and it occupies a central place in Bruckner's symphonic output and the late-Romantic repertoire.
First released: 1997
