Info for Bruckner: Symphony No. 8 in C Minor, WAB 108 (Edition Haas)

The Vienna Philharmonic, who have premiered four out of Bruckner's '9 Symphonies' are familiar to his music unlike any other orchestra. With Christian Thielemann they have one of the few Bruckner experts on their side. Bruckner (1824-1896) was an Austrian composer best known for his 'Symphonies', 'Masses' and 'Motets'. Bruckner was greatly admired by subsequent composers, including his friend Gustav Mahler.

Wiener Philharmoniker
Christian Thielemann,

Christian Thielemann
was born in Berlin in 1959 and began what Karajan called the classical conductor’s “hard but indispensable slog” through numerous small theatres at an early age. After 20 years of operatic experience, Thielemann, who also has been guest conductor-in-chief at the Teatro Comunale of Bologna, started concentrating on a few selected orchestras and opera houses such as Covent Garden in London, the Metropolitan in New York and the Vienna State Opera. From 1997–2004 he was music director of the Deutsche Oper, Berlin, and in 2004 he was appointed music director of the Münchner Philharmoniker. Thielemann received Germany’s Bundesverdienstkreuz in 2003.
