Anton Bruckner

Historical Symphony Recordings

A list of known recordings of Bruckner symphonies

made between 1924 and 1959

Last updated on June 29th, 2005 (ver. 11.6).

Compiled by Lionel Tacchini with help from

Deryk Barker, John Berky, Radcliffe Bond, William Carragan, Michael Gray, Dermot Gault,

David Griegel, Ramon Khalona, Mark Kluge, Benjamin Korstvedt, Rob Kruijt, Bruce Morrison,

Kevin Mostyn, Hans Roelofs, Lani Spahr, Matthew B. Tepper and Jeff Weinstein

This list contains all recordings of Bruckner symphonies made before 1960, partial or complete, known to me to the present date, regardless of their publication history.

It is hopefully not complete and will be updated as I hear of new items. Uncertainties about date or attribution are mentioned when known.

The symphony in D minor from 1869, usually referred to as "Die Nullte" or "no. 0", is simply called the symphony in D minor.

Accurate information on the various versions of Bruckner's symphonies is available on David Griegel's website .

References to 78 rpms, LP and CD issues of the published recordings in this list will be found in the Bruckner Symphony Version Discography .
