Andris Nelsons and the Gewandhausorchester Leipzig continue their Bruckner series with this release featuring Symphonies Nos. 2 and 8, paired with Wagner’s Meistersinger Prelude.

This recording forms part of the orchestra’s ongoing Bruckner cycle on DG, presented in high-quality sound with the ensemble’s characteristic balance and clarity. The album documents the continuation of Nelsons’ collaboration with the Gewandhausorchester, which has been extended through 2027. The performances are based on established editions of the scores and were produced using Deutsche Grammophon’s current studio standards.
