Christoph von Dohnányi conducts Bruckner's grand Symphony No.8, alongside Mozart's Concerto No.27 with pianist Martin Helmchen.
Austro-Hungarian composer Hugo Wolf was in such awe of Bruckner's monumental Eighth Symphony that he hailed it 'the creation of a giant', concluding that 'no Roman emperor could have wished for a greater triumph'. With the weight and grandeur of its themes and the Wagnerian ambition of its orchestration, such lofty praise would not seem misplaced. Indeed, today - over a century after its 1892 Vienna premiere - it remains an apotheosis of the symphonic form.
Here its epic scale and towering complexity are perfectly contrasted with the pared down introspection of Mozart's Concerto No.27.
