CD - A Bruckner Serenade / Tokyo Sinfonia / Robert Ryker
 | |
In this interesting release, several of Bruckner's works have been arranged for the 19 strings of the Tokyo Sinfonia. The performances were recorded in March of 2009 at an all-Bruckner concert. Conducted by Robert Ryker, this was the fifth in an ongoing series of quarterly events entitled Symphonies for Strings. The Bruckner program included the Overture in G Minor (1863), Four Orchestral Pieces (1862), and Bruckner's 1879 Quintet in F Major. Ryker reduced the scoring of the overture and the four early pieces, and expanded the orchestration of the string quintet, thus making it a Symphony for Strings. The CD offers the entire concert.
The Tokyo Sinfonia also offers their scores for sale. The study scores sell for $15 for large works like the Symphony for Strings, $10 for smaller scores like the Overture and the Four Pieces. Parts are available as well. Inquiries regarding the scores should be addressed to:
