Lü Jia and China NCPA Orchestra: Complete Bruckner Cycle recordings release

On the occasion of the bicentennial of Anton Bruckner’s birth (1824–2024), Maestro Lü Jia and the China NCPA Orchestra celebrate this historic milestone with the release of the complete recordings of Bruckner’s symphonies.

The result of years of dedication and artistic rigor, this monumental project pays tribute to the Austrian composer’s grand symphonic legacy. With profound interpretative sensitivity, Lü Jia and the NCPA Orchestra guide listeners on a journey through Bruckner’s vast musical landscapes: from his towering symphonic structures to the spiritual essence embedded in his works, evoking the grandeur of a sonic cathedral.

Recorded at the prestigious Concert Hall of the China National Centre for the Performing Arts, this complete symphony cycle marks a milestone not only for the orchestra but also for the broader Asian music scene. It stands as a significant achievement in bringing Bruckner’s masterpieces to a wider audience in the East while cementing the NCPA Orchestra’s status as a leading force on the international stage.
