Inspired by Bruckner 3 + 8 New European Ensemble + Ludwig Orchestra

Inspired by Bruckner

Two fantastic ensembles and two composers who rival Bruckner with grand, ambitious works. Reza Namavar takes over from Bruckner the fact that he can create great contrasts with very little material. And Maxim Shalygin wants to complete and extend a detail from Bruckner's Eighth Symphony. A concert that demands the utmost from the New European Ensemble and Ludwig Orchestra.

Reza Namavar has a thing for other composers. For example, this former student of Louis Andriessen reviewed all Antonio Vivaldi concerts during the corona period. Now he delves into Bruckner's Third Symphony with the same manic attention. "Music can also be painful," the Ukrainian-born composer Maxim Shalygin once said. This 'master in creating unusual sounds' (de Volkskrant), who lives in the Netherlands, brings Bruckner into today's language with an enormous symphony for thirteen brass instruments.
