Eine katholische Messe zur Brucknerzeit[edit]

On 2 April 2010, Hans Roelofs wrote "(translated) Eine katholische Messe zur Brucknerzeit (Fabian Records CD 5116) … offers a charming program - this is what a Pontifical Office might have looked like in the past, namely a Mass (here the first in D minor), alternated with short organ works and motets, all by Bruckner; conductor and organist is Rupert Gottfried Frieberger. But not only the possible musical sequence of such a pontifical ministry is "reconstructed" to a certain extent, but at the same time the ambience of the premiere is offered here: the location of the performance is the rood screen of the Old Cathedral in Linz. This limited space naturally determines the size of the orchestra and choir. In addition, the orchestra plays on instruments of the Bruckner time. The result takes some getting used to at first, but can claim authenticity. Since the organ of the Old Cathedral has retained its historical sound, the organ works also sound as Bruckner himself may have played and heard them. All this is reason enough to listen to this CD, even if not everything is perfect: rood screen space and church acoustics influence the sound, and a concert recording never offers the perfection of a studio recording; but the listening experience compensates for this abundantly."[1] --Réginald alias Meneerke bloem (To reply) 17:48, 16 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
