Description:
Anton Bruckner composed the first of his three orchestral masses, the Mass in D minor, in just four months in 1864. Nevertheless, it was not completed for Emperor Franz Joseph I's birthday as planned, but premiered on November 20 for the Feast of St. Cecilia in Linz Cathedral - with great success. The mass is one of the first works by Bruckner to feature his characteristic symphonic style. It was revised several times and first printed in 1892. This edition is based on a critical examination of all relevant sources and provides an improved musical text.
