Symphony No. 9: Stanislaw Skrowaczewski / SWF Symphony Orchestra
After years of searching, it was assumed that the original tapes from the recording session were destroyed and that the first movement was lost.
By sheer coincidence, some of the "South German Philharmonic" recordings were eventually linked to recordings by the Southwest German Radio Symphony in Baden-Baden. A database of Bruckner recordings produced by this radio orchestra in the 1960's was secured from the Deutsche Rundfunkarchiv and a 1965 recording of the Symphony No. 9 conducted by Stanislaw Skrowaczewski was listed. When the second and third movements of that performance were compared to the performance on the CD, it was clear that the recordings were the same.
We had, in fact, discovered the long-lost first movement to this excellent performance!
This recording is offered here to correct a 50 year old error where anyone who purchased this recording in the past never received the full symphony that was listed on the cover.
