Anton Bruckner's Symphony No. 8 in C minor, WAB 108, is the last symphony the composer completed. It exists in two major versions of 1887 and 1890. It was premiered under conductor Hans Richter in 1892 at the Musikverein, Vienna. It is dedicated to the Emperor Franz Joseph I of Austria.
This symphony is sometimes nicknamed The Apocalyptic, but this was not a name Bruckner gave to the work himself. In the article "The 20 Greatest Symphonies of all time" from BBC Music Magazine, this symphony is placed at the 13th position. Bruckner also holds the 20th place with his Symphony No. 7.
