massive Eighth<br />

<strong>Symphony</strong> No.8<br />
Johannes Fritzsch and the QSO<br />
demonstrate the synergy they have<br />
created in their magisterial Bruckner<br />
cycle with the most awesome of all,<br />
the Eighth; a work conductors and<br />
orchestras don’t perform as much<br />
as construct out of hewn granite.<br />
Despite its dark, sinister beginning, it<br />
ends in a blaze of glorious optimism,<br />
as befitted the God-fearing Bruckner.<br />
The intimacy and restrained passion<br />
of Wagner’s Wesendonck Lieder<br />
capture the intensity of forbidden<br />
love, anticipating the atmosphere<br />
of his opera, Tristan & Isolde<br />
and provide an opportunity for<br />
internationally acclaimed Australian<br />
soprano and Wagner specialist,<br />
Lisa Gasteen to captivate Brisbane<br />
audiences with rapturous singing.<br />
