Experience the beauty of Bruckner

By JOHN FLEMING
Published February 8, 2007

Stefan Sanderling guides the Florida Orchestra through Bruckner's Eighth Symphony in three concerts this weekend. Prepare to be transfixed. This is Bruckner at his most monumental in an 80-minute work with a slow movement that runs half an hour. The Austrian composer was an inveterate reviser of his symphonies, and Sanderling will use the 1890 edition of the score.

Performances are 8 p.m. Friday at Morsani Hall of Tampa Bay Performing Arts Center in Tampa, 8 p.m. Saturday at Mahaffey Theater in St. Petersburg and 7:30 p.m. Sunday at Ruth Eckerd Hall in Clearwater. $17-$52. (813) 286-2403 or toll-free 1-800-662-7286; www.floridaorchestra.org.
