Who better to open tonight’s Prom than Klaus
Sonnleitner, present-day organist at St Florian’s Abbey,
Linz, where Bruckner himself became organist almost
160 years ago. Lorin Maazel conducts the Vienna
Philharmonic in Bruckner’s Eighth Symphony, a vivid
realisation of the self-doubting composer’s lifelong
ambition to build upon the legacies of Beethoven,
Schubert and Wagner.Tickets £18 - £68.
