The Bruckner Archive used funds received from CD purchases at abruckner.com to purchase a rare recording of Bruckner's famous motet, Ave Maria (WAB 6).

The performers featured are Alphonse Hoch (1900-1967) and the Strasbourg Cathedral Choir.

The following information can be seen in Hans Roelofs' discography of Choral and Instrumental Music:

Alphonse Hoch
Chorale de la Cathédrale Strasbourg.
Recording date: March 25, 1938.

Given that no timing is provided, it appears that Mr. Roelofs did not hold a copy of the recording.

As soon as the recording is received, it will be cleaned, digitized and made available on this website.
