Dear Brucknerians, please note that I have opened a new Forum on Bruckners IXth, which you may find under www.klassik-heute.com To come to the site, please...

Dear Benjamin, welcome to the Anton Bruckner club, first of all! I've just visited your nice site, and I notice that I also have to thank you for having...
An English version would be appreciated, especially since my own comprehension of German isn't any better than those wooden Google translations! --Warren...
Warren, The English is right below the German, but here it is in its entirety. Interesting reading! John F. Berky IB. ANTON BRUCKNER, IX. SYMPHONY, FINALE:...
Dear John: Thanks for drawing my attention to the English translation. As grateful as I am for the continuing work on the Finale of the 9th Symphony, I still...
Dear John: It's nice to learn from the bibliography to the article that Naxos may be following up their release of the Wheeler Version of the Mahler 10th...
Yes, In speaking with Klaus Heymann, he mentioned that he has the world-wide rights to the Johannes Wildner performance that has been released in Germany on...
Yes, it is a re-issue. Sorry for that. We all hope for a new recording, but... As you say about Schubert: It will take some time. I still hope to perform and...
Lieber Herr Cohrs! No, all I have is your disc with your lecture and the version of the Finale with your further work on it. Please tell me how to get a...
I was in Detroit last weekend and had a chance to hear Jerzy Semkow play Bruckner's sixth. They don't often play Bruckner in Detroit, I'm told. It was a good...
Wow! I thought we were past that discourtesy to Bruckner's music, but apparently not. If the tape of that concert is broadcast here in Seattle, where we hear...
Fortunately, no one walked out of this one. But then, this is the 4th which normally does not get that kind of treatment. Blomstedt performed the 5th last...
I think that is expecting too much of conductors and orchestras not to pair Bruckner with whomsoever they wish. A few years ago I thoroughly enjoyed hearing...
How about Bruckner and Wagner's Siegfried Idyll? Alan brucknerfan@... wrote:I think that is expecting too much of conductors and orchestras not to pair...
I am no friend of "Standard Repertoire", so personally I would be rather happy to ban the austro-german Most-Meloved from concerts at all - unless there is a...

If you want to consider a strange pairing, think about what Richard Burgin (concertmaster) did with the Boston Symphony Orchestra in 1959. He performed the...
Thanks, John! This opens up a whole new area for discussion: what sort of programs would be called for on the basis of WHICH version of a Bruckner Symphony...
I would never do the Schalk Truncation of the Fifth, but if, then it should be combined with Dicky Straussens Till Eulenspiegel and perhaps Baxens Overture for...
Oh, yes, Warren! But perhaps even better the Horrortorio by Joseph Horowitz (see Gerard Hoffnung), or why not commsissioning a composition by Maestro ...
... Come to think of it, the Short Tempered Clavier would have been my choice for pairing with the B4 :-) I've enjoyed this thread thoroughly. The EMI...
-If I remember rightly, the Klemperer recording of Bruckner 7 (with the New Philharmonia) had the original scoring of the Idyll as the fourth side. Dave.- - In...
... Doesn't matter to me. When it is done, I am out of there, long drive home in the darkness, radio firmly shut off, no conversations. Just let the sounds...
