Dear List Members:  Those of you who live in Southern California, or who
may happen to be in the area, might be interested in joining us for the
following event (a similar one was held last year and we had lots of fun).
For any questions, see below:

   Join us on Saturday, September 2 to celebrate Bruckner's 176th
   birthday (two days ahead of schedule) in Carlsbad, California.  This
   year's event is dedicated to the memory of the great Brucknerian that
   was Georg Tintner.  In addition to playing his outstanding recording
   of the first version of the 1st symphony, we'll also be featuring a
   wonderful interview Mr.  Tintner gave to CBC radio (including a
   fabulous anecdote involving Bruckner and Klemperer to which Mr.
   Tintner was witness).

   As we did last year, we'll play the symphonies in an informal setting,
   with intermissions between works and plenty of food/drinks to keep
   us going.  Once more, we have not tried to come up with a list of
   'best' recordings, but rather with a selection of recordings we
   believe to have special merits (attendees can pick up a pamphlet with
   our notes about this year's selections).

     - F-minor symphony: Inbal/Frankfurt RSO (47 min.)
     - 1st symphony: Tintner/RSNSO (55 min.)
     - D-minor symphony ("Nullte"): Von Gelmini/Nuernberg SO (42 min.)
     - 2nd symphony: Konwitschny/Berlin RSO (65 min)
     - 3rd symphony: Rozhdestvensky/USSR MoC SO (73 min.)
     - 4th symphony: Kubelik/VPO (video, 66 min.)
     - 5th symphony: Gielen/SWFSO (70 min.)
     - 6th symphony: Keilberth/BPO (56 min.)
     - 7th symphony: Celibidache/BPO (86 min.)
     - 8th symphony: Jochum/Hamburg PO (83 min.)
     - 9th symphony: Blomstedt/Leipzig GO (61 min.)
