Experience a special one-night-only event celebrating Bruckner’s transcendent Eighth Symphony conducted by Peter Oundjian. The Eighth is a spiritual masterpiece with a listening experience akin to entering a majestic cathedral. Music of sheer, breathtaking magnificence, the symphony was rewritten before its premiere when conductor Hermann Levi, one of Bruckner’s longtime champions, looked at the manuscript and deemed the work impossible to perform. The revised version, while magnificent, omits or rewrites some of the most beautiful passages of the original, significantly changing the effect of the piece. In a premiere performance by an American orchestra, the Colorado Symphony performs a new version from scholar Paul Hawkshaw which seeks to restore the original intent of a work Bruckner himself called “the most significant...of my life.”
