Andris Nelsons and the Gewandhausorchester Leipzig continue their award-winning Bruckner cycle. This time the Symphonies are coupled with the Prelude and Liebestod from Wagner’s Tristan und Isolde.

There’s a consistently superb playing from all sections of the orchestra, but it’s the transparency of the strings that gives the textures such buoyancy; nothing is too emphatic or insistent.” - The Guardian
