About the Event

Enthusiastic public — appalled critics. This is how one could summarize the reactions to the premiere of Anton Bruckner's Symphony No. 8. Today, the symphony is considered one of the most important monuments of musical art. The Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra has turned Amsterdam into a Mecca for Bruckner fans. Klaus Mäkelä wants to continue this tradition and is bringing the “opus summum” by the Austrian court organist and Wagner admirer to the orchestra's debut at the Baden‐Baden Easter Festival.

Artists

Orchestra:	Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra The 'Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra' is a symphony orchestra of international renown, whose character has been shaped by several generations of musicians, longstanding collaboration with each of the six chief conductors, and the unique acoustic properties of the Concertgebouw’s main hall. The Orchestra has gained its unique international position with its ‘velvet’ strings, ‘golden’ brass and the exceptional and personal timbre of the woodwinds. The musicians are the guardians of the playing culture that gives the Orchestra its unique sound and flexibility. The Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra consists of 120 virtuosos who perform together at the highest level. During the fifty years of Willem Mengelberg’s reign, a wide variety of composers such as Richard Strauss, Gustav Mahler, Claude Debussy and Igor Stravinsky conducted the Concertgebouw Orchestra several times. Celebrities such as Béla Bartók, Sergey Rachmaninoff and Sergey Prokofiev performed their own works as soloists. This crucial bond with contemporary composers was continued with Bruno Maderna, Peter Schat, Luciano Berio, Hans Werner Henze, Luigi Nono and John Adams, and is still RCO policy.
