Info for Wagner: Meistersinger Prelude / Bruckner: Symphonies Nos. 2 & 8
Andris Nelsons and the Gewandhausorchester Leipzig’s performances of Bruckner’s Symphonies Nos. 2 & 8, coupled with Wagner’s Meistersinger Prelude is out now on Deutsche Grammophon!
“In this symphony, Bruckner has formulated everything very clearly: the wonderful themes are clearly separated from each other by general pauses, and yet the result is a great whole. It is astonishing that this work is so rarely performed – in fact it is an ideal introduction to the cosmos of Bruckner’s Symphony”, says Gewandhaus Kapellmeister Andris Nelsons about the second symphony. Bruckner himself called his Eighth a “mystery”.
Andris Nelsons has much to gain from this: “Bruckner penetrated here, especially in the slow movement, into regions that were beyond the reach of other composers. The unity of the enormous work is also a miracle. The magnificent final set – the last that Bruckner was able to complete – contributes to this”.
