Symphony No. 8 in C minor
01. I. Allegro moderato
02. II. Scherzo: Allegro moderato
03. III. Adagio
04. IV. Finale: Feierlich, nicht schnell
This is the second version of this symphony. Bruckner took just over three years to complete this work and had never spent so long on a single work. His seventh symphony had been a huge success and he set to work with great intensity. The orchestra’s previous release of Bruckner Symphony No.5 was well received “This Orchestra has seldom sounded as good since its glory days…” Phil Muse
