Bruckner´s Eighth - An Epitome of Absolute Music
„Is there a music which is absolutely not programmatic? Bruckner´s Eighth is the epitome of absolute music, yet it possesses a mental programme which is a reflection of Bruckner´s psychological situation, his obssessions, his compulsive neuroses and of his fight against them: a reflection of his faith, his (shattered) naiveté."
„Bruckner´s ideas are so revolutionary that they actually exhaust both composer and listener. The manner in which the thematic material is portrayed is so weighty that space needs to be made to counterbalance it. Gaps fill that role exactely - nothing happens except that the listener is given time for a breathing space before being presented with yet another weighty section."
(Michael Gielen about the Eighth of Bruckner)
