Anton Bruckner - Symphony No. 8 in C minor (version 1: 1887; version 2: 1890)

Anton Bruckner's Symphony No. 8 is one of his most significant and monumental compositions. It is often considered one of the crowning achievements of the Romantic symphonic repertoire. Bruckner, an Austrian composer, completed this symphony in several versions, with the final and most commonly performed version being the 1887-1890 revision. Bruckner's Eighth Symphony is known for its grand scale, rich harmonies, and intricate counterpoint. It incorporates elements of Austrian and German Romanticism, with echoes of Richard Wagner's influence. While Bruckner's Eighth Symphony is now highly regarded, it faced mixed reviews upon its premieres. Some critics found it too long and complex, while others praised its innovation and emotional depth.

@yotta - I'll listen - it is late and I feel contemplative - one needs a lot of patience for Bruckner - but it's worth it!!
