September, 2024: An Anniversary Brucknerathon

Given that September, 2024 marks the 200th Anniversary of Bruckner's birth, it would be fitting that a special Brucknerathon should be taking place. But in some ways, this special celebration actually makes an in-person Brucknersthon much more difficult. Many of the regular participants will be attending the BrucknerTage at St. Florian, since this year's event is co-sponsored by the Bruckner Society of America. Also, I will be in Austria with my "Bruckner Tour of Austria" during the anniversary festivities.

But the anniversary should not shut down the entire Brucknerathon tradition, so I have planned a downloadable version as the September Download of the Month.

This Brucknerathon should be one that makes Bruckner especially happy and I can think of nothing that would please him more than for his symphonies to be conducted by women. I scoured the Bruckner Archive and I have found Symphonies 0-9 plus the Te Deum conducted by women - a different one for each work!

I leave the detailes embedded in each download so you need to seek out the performers. Some of the audio has been taken off of video files.

PLEASE NOTE: Unlike other Downloads of the Month, this one will not stay up after September 31st.
