Hi, all.
Via a press release from DG, I learn:
Start of a New Complete Bruckner Symphony Cycle
The symphonies of Anton Bruckner occupy a unique place in the history of the genre. Bridging the classicism of Beethoven and Brahms and the narrative drive of Wagner, Bruckner brought to the symphony a new structural breadth and a personal emotional scope focused on his devout faith. His powerful harmonic language and his fulsome, brass-rich orchestration were much influenced by Wagner and within the vast scale of his works he created spiritual journeys of exceptional intensity.
In anticipation of the start of his taking over as the Gewandhauskapellmeister in 2017-18, the season marking the orchestra's 275th anniversary, Andris Nelsons begins their new complete cycle of the Bruckner symphonies together with a recording of the 3rd symphony, paired with the Overture to Wagner's opera Tannhäuser. The pairing of Bruckner's symphonies with extracts from Wagner's operas continues through the cycle, offering a chance to hear Bruckner alongside the composer closest to his own heart.

Well, well, well, is all I can say!
This means that Nelsons will be (metaphorically) conducting from Felix Mendelssohn's podium.
