BRUCKNER: Prelude in C-Major "Perger Präludium" WAB 129 at St. Florian's Bruckner Organ

#organ #stflorian #bruckner September 4th 2024 marks the 200th anniversary of Austrian composer Anton Bruckner. Therefore I decided to upload my recordings from 2019 where I visited St. Florian's Monastery (Stift St. Florian) in Upper Austria - the place, where Bruckner was Organist and played on the marvelous Brucknerorgel. In this video you hear the Prelude in C-Major WAB 129, also known as "Perger Präludium", probably Bruckner's most famous organ composition. Anton Bruckner (1824-1896) definetly belongs to the greatest composers of Austria, primarly known for his massive symphonic orchestra and choir works. Despite being a great composer Bruckner was also a great organist and improviser. After being organist at St. Florian's Monastery, he became organist at the then St. Ignatius Cathedral (today old cathedral) in Linz, the capital of Upper Austria. In 1868 Bruckner became successor of his teacher Simon Sechter at the Vienna Conservatory and court organist. In addition to his work as a teacher and court organist, he composed his famous symphonies, where he developed his own way of the symphonic form with influences from programmatic music by Liszt and Wagner, but keeping the overall structre traditional. Sadly Bruckner didn't compose any large organ works, only a few smaller works from the great improviser are left. The massive main organ at St. Florian's Monastery church, also known as "Brucknerorgel" (Bruckner's organ) is one oft the most famous organs of Austria, due to it's many beautiful sounds and Anton Bruckner being organist here. It consists of 103 stops alongside 4 manuals, pedal board and around 7386 pipes, making it the second largest organ in Austria. Parts of the original organ by Franz Xaver Krisman from Slovenia (built in 1770 to 1774), which Bruckner played, could be preserved, in 1878, 1932 and 1951 the organ was enlarged to it's today's size. A setter system, as well as options for recording where installed in 1992. Special thanks to the staff of St. Florian's Monastery and Organist Klaus Sonnleitner for making this recording session possible.
