An amazing thing happened today. I happened to be at the Square waiting in the car for Sarah who was attending a clinic: I tuned to Lyric fm only to discover that Liz Nolan on her "The full score" was playing the whole 80 minutes of Bruckner's eighth. I came in at the beginning of the 2nd movement (Scherzo). I had previously figured that Bruckner was not flavour of the month on Lyric!
The recording was from this years Proms where the Leipzig Gewandhaus Orchestra and Andris Nelsons explore scale in a programme that sets Bruckner’s vast Symphony No. 8 (1890 version, ed. Nowak) against the meticulous detail of Bach’s organ works.
