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.

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.
