Gewandhausorchester Leipzig
Andris Nelsons (conductor)

The Leipzig Gewandhaus Orchestra returns to the Proms for the first time under new Music Director Andris Nelsons.
At the heart of their programme is Bruckner鈥檚 Symphony No. 8 鈥� a work as vast in scope as size, a mighty orchestral monologue whose monumental finale the composer considered 鈥榯he most significant movement of my life鈥�.
Before the broad unfolding of Bruckner, Michael Schonheit presents the meticulous detail of Bach in a series of solo organ works including the lovely chorale 鈥榃achet auf鈥�.
