This series marks the 200th anniversary of the birth of Anton Bruckner, which falls in 2024. It’s dedicated to Bruckner’s
symphonies, most of them recorded in new transcriptions for organ by Hansjörg Albrecht.
This sixth recording was made on the church organ of St Margaret in Munich, using the transcription of Bruckner’s Fifth
Symphony by Erwin Horn.
The bonus track is Poème pour orgue by French composer Françoise Choveaux, who took fragments from Bruckner’s
Fifth to reflect the work’s subtitle, Bruckner-Fenster (Bruckner Window). This bonus track is a digital-only release –
OC2100-D.
