This historic performance was recorded in 1924 and is the first recording of a full-length Bruckner Symphony. The recording itself has a checkered history.

When Music and Arts released this CD a few years ago. They added other works conducted by Fried to fill out the disc to almost the 80 minute maximum. But then it was discovered that the Bruckner was pitched sharp. If they re-pitched the recording, then some of the works that they added to the CD and would no longer fit. There was little for them to do.

Abruckner.com was then permitted by Music and Arts to release the Bruckner only and Aaron Z. Snyder agreed to clean up and re-pitch the recording thus making this the best available CD of this historic recording.
