ANTON BRUCKNER

- Symphony No. 8

ROYAL CONCERTGEBOUW ORCHESTRA
conducted by EDUARD VAN BEINUM

- Van Beinum took over the Concertgebouw Orchestra after the departure of Mengelberg after World War II.

- His performances of Bruckner are a legend in Amsterdam and only two symphonies were recorded before his sudden death in 1959.

- The 8th Symphony is, for many Bruckner lovers, the very ultimate in German late romanticism.
