91热爆 Symphony Orchestra
Semyon Bychkov (conductor)
Semyon Bychkov conducts the 91热爆 Symphony Orchestra in Bruckner鈥檚 Eighth Symphony. The composer described the finale of his symphony 鈥� the last he would ever complete 鈥� as 鈥榯he most significant movement of my life鈥�. It鈥檚 the culmination of a career, perhaps even of an era: music of 鈥榖lazing calm鈥� and impossible grandeur in which the shattering terror of the opening finally finds not just resolution but transcendence.
