“Bruckner’s music is in the Gewandhausorchester’s DNA,” says Andris Nelsons, the orchestra’s Music Director since 2018. Now their celebrated Bruckner symphony cycle in its unique combination with instrumental pieces from Wagner’s operas is complete. The idea for this was obvious to Nelsons: “Bruckner loved Wagner’s music: he saw its greatness, merits and achievements.”

Since 2018, Symphonies Nos. 1-9 have been released on 1 or 2 CDs or digital album respectively, each release combining Bruckner with selected orchestral music by Wagner, underlining the references between the works.

For the first time, Deutsche Grammophon now presents the complete Bruckner/Wagner cycle in a 10 CD box and as digital album, including Dolby Atmos (digital version only). As a first-time release, the new set also includes Bruckner’s Symphony No. 0 “Die Nullte” (“Nullified”) and Wagner’s overtures to “Rienzi” and “Der fliegende Holländer” in Nelsons’ and the Gewandhausorchester’s reading.

  • Andris Nelsons - Gewandhausorchester is one of the best Bruckner Eights I've heard in a long time / LIMELIGHT
    Posted At: April 9, 2021 12:00 AM

    LIMELIGHT's Greg Keane writes......Sometimes you experience a hitherto completely unfamiliar piece of music, which not only opens up another universe, both musical and spiritual, but also leaves an imprint that becomes a template for all subsequent accounts.  Nelson's Leipzig Bruckner has been rightly lauded (except perhaps the Seventh) and this Eighth and the unjustly neglected Second are n...

    Posted At: June 5, 2019 12:00 AM

    Andris Nelsons' revelatory readings of Bruckner's symphonies are permeated by his understanding of the many contradictions within the composer's character – not least the opposition between an essential awareness of his own talent and the insecurity that compelled him to rework his scores again and again. The latest title in the Latvian conductor's ongoing cycle for Deutsche Grammophon, performed w...

  • New Andris Nelsons, Gewandhausorchester Leipzig brings together two of Bruckner's best symphonies / Classical Music Sentinel
    Posted At: May 31, 2019 12:00 AM

    Anyone who's visited my blog and read "The Bruckner Conundrum: The Problem with Anton" will know my opinions on and perception of the music of Anton Bruckner (1824-1896). And more specifically my estimation that his Symphony No. 9 in D minor is nothing more than the cumulative end result of all of his previous Symphonies. With that said, like I mention in my blog, I believe it to be "a monumental sym...
