In this book, Alonso Delarte chooses 20 crucial compositions by Anton Bruckner and explains why they are fundamental to understanding Bruckner. This includes the three great Masses and the nine Symphonies (from No. 1 to No. 9), in their preferred versions, with some mentions of the other versions. The chapter on the Ninth Symphony includes information on the finale; the author is grateful to Benjamin Gunnar Cohrs for his expert advice for that chapter. Also included in the list is the choral masterpiece Helgoland, mostly unknown outside of the German-speaking world.
