This recording features Lionel Rogg’s remarkable transcription of Bruckner’s Eighth Symphony for solo organ, performed on the magnificent Van den Heuvel instrument at Geneva’s Victoria Hall. Initially hesitant to take on the challenge, Rogg was inspired by the work’s profound spiritual character and by Bruckner’s own career as a celebrated organist. Treating the organ as a self-contained orchestra, Rogg adapts the score with care, revealing new colors and textures while preserving its grandeur and emotional intensity. The result offers listeners a fresh perspective on one of Bruckner’s greatest symphonic achievements.
