Tugan Sokhiev dirigiert Bruckners 8. Symphonie

In the organizer's words:

Anton Bruckner's work reaches its climax in the 8th Symphony - and what a climax! Bruckner worked on the composition for a good three years and ended up with the longest symphony that music history had ever seen. It is also his last completed symphony. In it, Bruckner revealed his artistic maturity and his ability to create monumental soundscapes. The composer himself described the mighty finale as "the most important movement of my life" and wrote the exclamation: "Hallelujah!" under the notes in the autograph score. When the main themes of all four movements pile on top of each other at the end of the fourth movement, it is the end point of an 80-minute symphonic journey and one of the most exciting moments a composer has ever created. Tugan Sokhiev conducts this late-romantic masterpiece, which is one of the cornerstones of the Munich Philharmonic's repertoire.
