Talk:List of masses by Anton Bruckner

Please improve the introduction paragraph, Its incoherent !!! Naveen Reddy 16:10, 4 June 2012 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Naveen Reddy (talk • contribs)

I think "incoherent" is a bit strong. The lead needs to be expanded to properly introduce the topic, but what is written is perfectly understandable. I'll see what I can do to flesh it out a bit. WikiDan61^ChatMe!_ReadMe!! 17:25, 4 June 2012 (UTC)

As required, I have added inline citations, as well as additional wikilinks and some precisions (among others) in the introduction paragraph. In the section "selected discography", I have only mentioned recordings of the original settings of the Windhaager Messe and the Choral-Messe. --Réginald alias Meneerke bloem (To reply) 21:30, 4 June 2012 (UTC)

NB: For the vocal works of Anton Bruckner I am in close contact with Hans Roelofs [1]. We are both waiting for the first commercial recording of the Kronstorfer Messe.

Kronstorfer Messe

A few months ago, when going through the collection of producer David Aldeborgh, John Berky came across a cassette containing a live performance of the Kronstorfer Messe as it was performed in Kronstorf on 20 May 1987. This live performance by the Kirchenchor Kronstorf (conductor Erich Nowotny) can be heard on John Berky’s website.

The only other recording of the Kronstorfer Messe we are aware of is that of the Finnish Boys-choir Pirkanpoja (conductor Jussi Kauranen), which was issued on its CD TUHANSIN KIELIN (1998) (item 19: Anton Bruckner's Messe ohne Gloria und Credo).[2], [3] Till now Hans Roelofs, John Berky and myself tried unsuccessfully to get a copy of this CD.

Another private recording by Bert Brandstetter with the Choirs of the churches of Freistadt District, 1996, has been retrieved in the meantime. The recording is put in the Bruckner Archive. --Réginald alias Meneerke bloem (To reply) 17:34, 10 August 2015 (UTC)

John Berky has in the meantime found a copy of the CD PPCD 02 (TUHANSIN KIELIN). A copy of its item 19 (Bruckner's Messe ohne Gloria und Credo) is put in the Bruckner Archive. --Réginald alias Meneerke bloem (To reply)

Re-ordering

The Kronstorfer Messe was composed somewhat earlier than the Messe für den Gründonnerstag.
I have re-ordred the page accordingly. --Réginald alias Meneerke bloem (To reply) 12:28, 16 June 2013 (UTC)

Page split

As proposed by Gerda Arendt during our discussion of yesterday I have split this page and created separate pages for each of the three early Masses: Windhaager Messe, Kronstorfer Messe and Messe für den Gründonnerstag. --Réginald alias Meneerke bloem (To reply) 17:42, 10 August 2015 (UTC)

Page expanded to the other masses

As discussed with Gerda Arendt, I have moved the page "Bruckner's early Masses" to "Masses (Bruckner)" and expanded its content to the other masses. --Réginald alias Meneerke bloem (To reply) 14:37, 10 February 2015 (UTC)
