Symphony no. 9 / Symphony no. 8

Album by Anton Bruckner & BBC Symphony Orchestra & London Symphony Orchestra & Jascha Horenstein

Symphony No. 8 and Symphony No. 9 are orchestral works by Austrian composer Anton Bruckner, completed in 1887 and left unfinished at his death in 1896 respectively. Both pieces showcase Bruckner's late-Romantic idiom through vast formal designs, prominent brass writing and dense harmonic progressions, representing the culmination of his symphonic career with the Eighth exemplifying monumental structure and the Ninth distinguished by its incomplete finale and more introspective character.
