Bruckner - Symphony No. 8
100 days after Bruckner's passing, Pierre Boulez conducts the Wiener Philharmonic in his eighth Symphony, the same orchestra that played its premiere in 1892. The recording takes place in the Stiftskirche of St. Florian, Austria, where Bruckner was first exposed to the learnings of music. Boulez' interpretation is unique in its clarity of the musical structure without losing the rich expression of the symphony.
