Kempe’s Bruckner Eighth is intense, grand, expansive – the patient pilgrim gradually achieving visionary fulfilment
BBC Music Magazine

Kempe’s Bruckner Eighth has always been one of my favourite versions of this towering masterpiece. His celebrated warmth hand long-term planning here bear rich rewards… The clarity and force in the last movement is truly overwhelming. This is in the best sense, a recording to live with.
Classic CD

The string playing of the Tonhalle is beyond reproach. Equally impressive are the brass and the wind in the build-up to the massive mountain peak climax before the end of the fabulous Adagio… A riveting performance of great strength and magnitude from Kempe and the Tonhalle
