    Lachner's sym.8 is most melodious. It is of a truth that we have never heard many composers. And this one shows that they weren't as popular, but just as prolific. I will be exploring this guy a whole lot more.

    Franz Lachner and Bruckner had the same composition teacher, Simon Sechter, so the tow composers rightfully inherited a similar compositional outlook, especially regarding harmony and developmental procedures.

    A beautiful symphony. The comparison with the symphonies of Schumann (1841-1851) or Berwald (1842-1845) show how much it was possible to follow different paths. Lachner symphonies were written between 1828 and 1851. The oboe solo at 11:35 strangely echoes in advance Dvorak's use of the clarinet in the the Noon witch, including the silence of the orchestra (part 3 = the death of the child). We can bet that Bruckner was aware of this symphony when writing his, or was sensitive to the Zeitgeist.

      Maybe the missing link to Bruckner is Simon Sechter. I see that Lachner also studied under him in Vienna.

    Franz Paul Lachner est un compositeur et chef d'orchestre bavarois, né à Rain-am-Lech le 2 avril 1803 - mort à Munich le 20 janvier 1890.
    Biographie
    Lachner naquit à Rain-am-Lech dans une famille de musiciens. Son père Anton Lachner était organiste municipal et ses frères Ignaz, Theodor et Vinzenz furent aussi des musiciens. Il étudia la musique avec Simon Sechter et Maximilian Stadler. Il devint ami intime de Franz Schubert et fit la connaissance de Ludwig van Beethoven. En 1823, il obtint un poste d'organiste à l'église luthérienne. Il fut chef d'orchestre assistant au Theater am Kärntnertor à Vienne (1827-1829), puis premier chef (1829-1834). En 1834, il devint Kapellmeister à Mannheim (1834-1836). En 1835, il reçut à Vienne le premier prix pour une composition symphonique avec sa Sinfonia passionata, et fut nommé Kapellmeister royal à Munich (1836-1865), devenant une figure majeure dans la vie musicale de la ville. Il dirigeait les représentations à l'opéra ainsi que les différents concerts et festivals. Sa carrière connut un déclin soudain en 1864, lorsque Hans von Bülow, un disciple de Richard Wagner, se vit confier ses différentes charges. Lachner resta officiellement à son poste en congé prolongé jusqu'à ce que son contrat expire.
    Mort à Munich, il y fut enterré à l'Ancien cimetière du Sud (buste de Michael Wagmüller).

    Telling that there is something pre-brucknerian in this music does not mean that Bruckner could have written it. But there is often an "air de déjà entendu", a kind of atmosphere that prefigures what Bruckner will later compose. Maybe, as Patrick Becker (as well as J. Sussman, below) told me on this site (in his answer to my comment below), the key could be Simon Sechter, whose most bright students were (among many others, from Wikipedia in German)
    Anton Bruckner (1824-1896), Komponist und Organist
    Julius Egghard (1834-1867), Pianist und Komponist
    Adolf Henselt (1814-1889), Pianist, Komponist und Klavierpädagoge
    Theodor Kullak (1818-1882), Pianist, Komponist und Musiklehrer
    Franz Lachner (1803-1890), Komponist und Dirigent
    Franz Schubert (1797-1828), Komponist
    Sigismund Thalberg (1812-1871), Pianist und Komponist
    Henri Vieuxtemps (1820-1881), Violinist und Komponist
    Lachner was a close friend of Schubert (and their chamber music share many similarities). In some way, it is not surprising to find Lachner on the road between Schubert and Bruckner. Nice example in Lachner's 5th symphony

    after 17'10 with a FULLY Brucknerian sonority of the complete orchestra at 18'10 - 18'30. Twenty full seconds are enough to get convinced of it.

    J’ai très peu entendu parler de Lachner et n'ai jamais eu le temps de l’écouter profondément. C'est désormais chose faite et dès la première seconde quelque chose d'étrange m'arriva : je me retrouvais comme envoûté, submergé. Ici, ni ennui ni somnolence, même si cette musique hypnotique aux accords profonds doit se briser souvent sur le roc de la sidération. Elle établit une telle synthèse de la vision frelatée et de la spiritualité musicale de son époque que c’en est vertigineux !

      Beethoven, Bach, Mozart, Teleman, and Chopin are great. But there are thousands more composers who have no exposure till now. There is no way a brick and mortar retail music building could house these great composers on vinyl or cd's, nor could my budget afford to get to sample them either. Thank you whoever uploads these with the liner notes!

    I've noticed a couple of comparisons of this symphony (the first I've ever heard of Lachner) with Bruckner. I hear more of Schumann and Mendelssohn here, though a great deal more powerful than either of those two. But Bruckner? Too melodious and fast-moving (at least in first movement) to be mistaken for Bruckner. And he finishes a theme before developing the next, unlike Bruckner. (Listen to the slow movement, rather the slowest, of Bruckner Symphony no.3 for an extreme example of not finishing a melody.) Ah! Brucknerian drum-roll at 12:08. Not enough for the comparison.
    I'm enjoying it a great deal so far.
    .... Edit, as I start hearing the finale after a melodious andante and fun scherzo: Yeah, the orchestra is having fun with this. I am just beginning to realize how formulaic this movement is. Does not diminish my enjoyment. If we want to compare to other composers, I think I hear some orchestration and rhythmic techniques for Mendelssohn and a bit from Shubert's teen-age symphonies. Just with a much bigger and brassier orchestra. (Even though the strings & woodwinds carry most of the music.)

    I discovered this week the music of 2 lesser kmown German composer, Franz Lachner and Ferdinand Ries. Both certainly deserves to be better known. I adore the wonderfull piano concertos of Ries and really excellent orchrstral suites of Lachner. As for their symphonies, I personally comsider Ries' set to a much greater discovery than the symphonies of Lachner. There is so much to enjoy and admire in the Ries symphonies, even though it certainly owes much to Beethoven. But for Lachner, his 1 hour long no.5 way too long and repitive for the material it contains. No 8 is much better, although after the promising start, that reminds one strongly of Bruckner, the level of inpiration drops as thr symphony continues

      @@knownfact4905 Just in case you have not heard this before, Ries has no piano concerto titled piano concerto no 1. In numbering his concertos he did not distinguished between piano and violin concertos. So he called his only violin concerto concerto no 1 for violin and orchestra and his first piano concerto concerto no 2 for piano and orchestra. A strange and as far as I know unique way of numbering concertos.

Cthulhu has been described in appearance as resembling an octopus, a dragon and a human caricature, hundreds of meters tall, with webbed human-looking arms and legs and a pair of rudimentary wings on its back. Cthulhu's head is depicted as similar to the entirety of a gigantic octopus, with an unknown number of tentacles surrounding its supposed mouth.
