London Philharmonic Orchestra, Klaus Tennstedt Bruckner’s majestic Symphony No. 8 overflows with lavish themes and rich sonorities, representing the composer at his grandest, whilst the Symphony’s occasional title
‘Apocalyptic’ alludes to an underlying tone of solemnity.
This strong and idiomatic reading comes from a live-to-air BBC recording dating from October 1981. This is very early days in the Orchestra’s long association with Tennstedt.
In true Tennstedt fashion, the sheer beauty of the sound and opulence of the textures are awe-inspiring in this
triumphant interpretation. Recorded live at the Royal Festival Hall, London, on 29 October 1981 ‘Tennstedt is one of the few great conductors of the day … the stark power of the performance is almost overwhelming’ Financial Times, 1989 |
