?Anton Bruckner called his Symphony no.8 in C minor a 'mystery'; others have seen it as an 'apocalyptic' work. For Paavo Järvi, it is the composer's 'most unusual symphony' and the 'pinnacle' of his symphonic output. In the history of the Tonhalle-Orchester Zürich, the Eighth Symphony occupies a special place, since it was the first Bruckner the orchestra performed - in 1905, twelve years after the premiere in Vienna of what was then the longest symphony in the history of music, and Bruckner's only work to call for harps: 'A harp has no place in a symphony, but I couldn't do otherwise!', the composer reportedly said.
