Bruckner 4 Schaller

Gerd Schaller writes of this new release: Although extremely numerous and insightful, the surviving fragments of this movement, which were left at various stages of development, present a very incomplete picture of Bruckners Ninth. Nevertheless, throughout the decades in which I have theoretically and practically (as a conductor) studied Bruckners works, I have always found it regrettable that these fascinating sketches and ideas might never be played at all simply because they were not left in a playable form.
