About this product

Was it a sign of conductors' general satisfaction with Bruckner's Eighth Symphony or editorial foot-dragging, that the work's original 1887 version wasn't published and performed until 1972? It certainly was Hermann Levi's dissatisfaction or at least discombobulation with it, so shortly after his very successful Munich performance of the Seventh, that made Bruckner revise the work in the first place. It is this elaborate, raw earlier version that Markus Poschner performs here, in the latest edition by Paul Hawkshaw for the New Anton Bruckner Complete Edition. More ornate, brassier, and with more economically employed woodwinds, this version doesn't smoothen edges and doesn't round corners An interesting insight into emboldened Bruckner at his unadulterated self.

Poschner Bruckner Orchester Linz - Symphony 8 in C Minor   - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

The present is the most comprehensive Bruckner Symphonies cycle, including all 19 available versions. Anton Bruckner burst out of the confines of the cathedral using that most secular of musical forms, the symphony. The creator of some of the 19th century's greatest orchestral music, Bruckner cut a singular figure among his contemporaries. This new complete Bruckner Symphonies edition from Capriccio reassesses these enduringly enigmatic and complex works. Presented by the Bruckner Orchestra Linz and the ORF Vienna Radio Symphony Orchestra, and featuring all 19 available versions, the cycle is scheduled for completion in 2024, Bruckner's 200th birthday. The second , of Symphony No. 8 (1890 version) is performed by Bruckner Orchestra Linz conducted by Markus Poschner.
