Symphony No. 8 in C minor

Album by Anton Bruckner & NHK交響楽団 & Lovro von Matačić

Symphony No. 8 in C minor is a symphony by Anton Bruckner, completed in 1887. The work is a late-Romantic orchestral composition characterised by expansive movements, rich brass and string textures, complex contrapuntal writing and dramatic dynamic contrasts, and it stands as a culminating statement in Bruckner's late symphonic output reflecting his mature stylistic synthesis.
