- Summary:
- Nearly a century after its premiere in Vienna in 1892, Bruckner's Symphony No. 8 receives a brilliant interpretation by the great conductor Herbert von Karajan and the Wiener Philharmoniker--the direct orchestral descendant of the ensemble that gave the masterpiece's very first performance! Encouraged by the triumph of his Seventh Symphony, Bruckner produced his Eighth after three years of intense work, pushed by the implacable conductor Hermann Levi to make so many revisions that it became a "suicidal obsession". Even with Levi's demands, the Eighth would prove to be one of the longest symphonies in the history of music!
