Brucknerhorn

For classical music lovers—especially those moved by Anton Bruckner’s monumental symphonies—finding the best possible sound quality is always a priority. Years ago, while searching for new vinyl records, I discovered Japanese pressings. On my system, their sonic performance was often superior to that of their European or American counterparts. What surprised me, however, was that the differences in sound were sometimes—though not always—far greater than I could have ever imagined.. On this site, I simply want to share what I have learned over the years to help fellow enthusiasts discover rare gems and definitive pressings. Because sonic variations between releases can be significant, every record has its own story. While generalizations are tempting, Japanese pressings are not uniform; the only reliable approach is a meticulous, case-by-case analysis. The discographies on this site feature images of records from my personal collection. Records are listed in chronological order by recording date. For certain releases—specifically those from Decca and King Records—I have also included the matrix codes.

My ambition is to fully complete the main body of this site by 2027
