Talk:Magnificat (Bruckner)

Recording and edition
The examples of the Magnificat, Psalm 114 and Psalm 146 are quite unique, because they were first recorded 1984, and 1987 and c. 1973 (28 November 1971, according to C. van Zwol), using scores prepared especially for these performances, long before they were officially issued by Paul Hawkshaw in 1996/97 in the Gesamtausgabe.

For the Magnificat a score was prepared by Carragan especially for Jürgens' recording. A copy of this score can be seen on Jonn Berky's site.

After the issue in the Gesamtausgabe two recordings have been issued: in 1997 by Farnberger with the St. Florianer Sängerknaben and in 2011 by Thomas Kerbl (Linzer Brucknerfest). --Réginald alias Meneerke bloem (To reply) 12:53, 2 July 2014 (UTC)

Recordings
Of the three recordings of this work: Hans Roelofs and I find Jürgens' historical performance still the best of the three. Farnberger's recording with the St. Florianer Sängerknaben, which was recorded in the St. Florian Abbey, provides the listener with a whiff of authenticity. --Réginald alias Meneerke bloem (To reply) 14:35, 10 August 2015 (UTC)
