Anton Bruckner’s Eighth Symphony stands among the largest and most ambitious works in the orchestral repertoire. Completed after the success of his Seventh Symphony and extensively revised before its eventual premiere in 1892, it unfolds on an epic scale, combining monumental architecture with moments of profound introspection.

Recorded by the Norrköping Symphony Orchestra under the direction of Karl-Heinz Steffens, this new album presents the 1890 Nowak edition of the symphony and continues Steffens’ exploration of the Austro-German symphonic tradition with one of Bruckner’s most expansive and richly scored works.
