Bruckner Symphony No. 8
Belief and Beyond Belief: War and Peace

7:30 PM, ​ ROYAL FESTIVAL HALL, LONDON

Bruckner Symphony No. 8 (Haas edition)

Lawrence Renes conductor
London Philharmonic Orchestra

It’s become a cliché to call Bruckner’s symphonies 'cathedrals in sound'. True, Bruckner’s Eighth Symphony is the grandest and most expansive that even he ever composed; a vision constructed on a vast scale by a composer with a profound religious faith. But it’s somehow both more universal, and more intimate than that. Experience Bruckner's monumental symphony live with the London Philharmonic Orchestra.
