New podcast on the Bruckner anniversary year with conductor and Bruckner expert Gerd Schaller
On 4 September, Anton Bruckner's birthday, the international jubilee year commemorating the great romantic composer Anton Bruckner has been officially proclaimed in many places around the world.
A new German language podcast provides monthly coverage about the 200th anniversary of the great composer's birth in September 2024: Gerd Schaller talks about Bruckner's life and work, the latest events and developments in the anniversary year, which is now in full swing. The podcast is thus intended to cover an arc from the opening of the anniversary year in September 2023 to the grand "finale", the 200th birthday of the composer Anton Bruckner in September 2024, and is available on Spotify, Amazon music, YouTube, Apple Podcasts and google podcasts, among others, as well as on many other streaming platforms which offer podcasts.
Gerd Schaller has been performing all Bruckner symphonies in all available versions since 2011 in cooperation with Bayerischer Rundfunk as part of the "Ebracher Musiksommer" festival, of which he is the artistic director. He is the only conductor in the world to pursue this endeavour so consistently. He is also an ECHO award winner, recipient of the Bruckner Medal of Honor from the American Anton Bruckner Society and is considered one of the world's most sought-after experts on the subject. His Bruckner recordings are released worldwide by the Profil Edition Günter Hänssler label on CD, as download and in music streaming formats and are enthusiastically received and reviewed by the international music press.
If you are interested in Anton Bruckner and would like to use the anniversary year to find out more about the life and work of this important Romantic composer, the podcast BRUCKNER2024 is the ideal introduction.
