BRUCKNER, A.: Symphony No. 2 (1872 version, ed. W. Carragan) (Complete Symphony Versions Edition, Vol. 12) (ORF Vienna Radio Symphony, M. Poschner)

Capriccio’s Complete Bruckner Symphonies Edition includes all versions of the symphonies either published or to be published under the auspices of the Austrian National Library and the International Bruckner Society in the Neue Anton Bruckner Gesamtausgabe (The New Anton Bruckner Complete Edition). Bruckner’s Second Symphony is rarely heard in its 1877 version, and it has remained virtually unperformed in the 1872 original version. This is not because of any deficiency in Bruckner’s earlier ideas compared with the later alterations. It’s mainly down to habit and convenience since acquiring new parts and re-learning a score with many detailed differences requires significant extra effort and resources. That’s a pity because it is well worth discovering the original rawness of Bruckner’s early masterpiece, something rarely heard since its creation, until now.
