Symphony no. 8

Album by Anton Bruckner & Wiener Philharmoniker & Carlo Maria Giulini

Symphony No. 8 is the eighth symphony by Austrian composer Anton Bruckner, completed in 1887 with a final revision in 1890. Characterised by vast proportions, dense contrapuntal writing, prominent brass chorales and sweeping dynamic arcs, the work exemplifies Bruckner's late-Romantic orchestral language and represents his mature approach to large-scale symphonic form.
