Andris Nelsons and the Gewandhausorchester Leipzig continue their acclaimed Bruckner cycle with Symphony No. 6, which Anton Bruckner himself described as his “boldest” and “most brazen”, and Symphony No. 9, which had Bruckner struggling for a total of nine years. The symphonies are coupled with Wagner’s Preludes to “Parsifal” and “Siegfried Idyll”.
