About

This extensive release is the second installment of a ten-volume tribute to conductor Michael Gielen. + Some of Michael Gielen’s very first broadcast recordings made in the 1960s were of Bruckner’s symphonies. + The development of the SWR Symphony Orchestra Baden-Baden and Freiburg is visible in these recordings, from the very earliest recording all the way to the incredible 2013 performance of Bruckner’s Symphony No. 9. + All of Bruckner’s symphonies are included on this release. Four of these performances have never been previously released.
