Anton Bruckner (4 September 1824 – 11 October 1896)) was an Austrian composer. His symphonies are considered emblematic of the final stage of Austro-German Romanticism because of their rich harmonic language, strongly polyphonic character, and considerable length. Bruckner composed eleven symphonies, scored for a fairly standard orchestra. His orchestration was modeled after the sound of his primary instrument, the pipe organ.

Thomas Brandis (born in 1935 in Hamburg) is a German violinist, chamber music performer and pedagogue. He became concertmaster of the Berlin Philharmonic at age 26, and served in the position until 1983. In 1976 he founded the Brandis-Quartet, which has performed virtually in all major festivals in Europe, Japan and the Americas. Thomas Brandis has recorded for EMI, Deutsche Grammophon, Teldec, Orfeo and Harmonia Mundi.

***

Klaus Tennstedt (June 6, 1926 – January 11, 1998) was a German conductor. He studied violin and piano at the Leipzig Conservatory, but directed his talents toward conducting after a finger injury. Tennstedt was appointed as Principal Conductor of the London Philharmonic Orchestra in 1983 but due to ill-health, stepped down in 1987. His recordings include a complete cycle of the symphonies of Gustav Mahler. Several of Tennstedt's concert performances have been reissued on CD.
