As of June 29th the Discography Database and the Bruckner Archive Database have been updated. The underlined headlines below will take you to the various sections of the website where the bullet points below are featured. Please use these as guides to the new information offered since the last newsletter. Newsletter - July 1, 2025 The 2025 Bruckner Society of America Brucknerthon is scheduled for September 5-7. If you have plans to attend, please look at the Brucknerathon page and sign up so that we can keep an accurate account of attendees. The event will have a registration fee of $60.00 which will be due upon arrival, so there is no commitment at this time if you sign up. The fee will cover the three meals provided during the all-day listening session on Saturday. Please note that the special rate at the Hyatt House Hotel is available until August 8th, so make your reservations soon. All details regarding the event will be posted on the Brucknerathon page as information is available. In addition to my webstore where I sell new releases and hard-to-find CDs, there are still many bargains in my Bargains and collectibles section. Now that the large shipment of recordings to the Austrian Media Library has been fully funded, prices have been reduced to clear out these duplicate recordings from the Archive. PLEASE CHECK THEM OUT! Thanks to the help of a colleague in Poland, I was able to locate a website that contains numerous out-of-print biographies on Bruckner. It was a tricky and time consuming endeavor, but I succeeded in downloading a number of interesting books on Bruckner: In English: Gabriel Engel: The Life of Anton Bruckner Hans Redlich: Bruckner and Mahler Derek Watson: Bruckner Erwin Doernberg: The Life and Symphonies of Anton Bruckner Robert Simpson: The Essence of Bruckner Hans-Hubert Schoenzeler: Bruckner Lee Lovallo: A Bruckner Discography Renate Grasberger: The Bruckner WAB Catalog (Werkverzeihnis) In German: Gollerich / Auer: Anton Bruckner: Ein Lebens- und Schaffens-Bild – A Picture of His Life and Work (9 Volumes) They can all be found in the Articles and Essays section. If you have access to the July issue of “Gramophone,” be sure to check out Christian Hoskins’ comprehensive survey of Bruckner’s Symphony No. 6. You can find it on pages 108-113. If you enjoy receiving my Newsletter, then you are sure to enjoy reading "The Bruckner Journal." The Journal is published online three times a year and each issue contains up to sixty pages of essays, recording and concert reviews and lists of upcoming concerts worldwide.
