• The fourth in the “single” releases from TDK’s two Wand boxsets this month on TDK.

• Few conductors have made a greater contribution to our present-day understanding of Bruckner than Günter Wand (1912–2002). Wherever possible Wand returned to the versions representing most clearly the composer’s intentions – be it the “urtext” or scrupulously restored versions.

• Altogether, TDK will release 8 DVDs of Günter Wand’s Bruckner interpretations at the Schleswig-Holstein Musik Festival, alongside the two boxsets.

• The booklets accompanying each DVD include extensive and informative essays on Günter Wand, his understanding of Bruckner and of the works on the respective DVD. These essays are written by musicologist and Bruckner expert Wolfgang Seifert, who also published a biography on Günter Wand in cooperation with the conductor in 1999
