For anyone there who fancies trips across the Channel for an Anton Bruckner symphony cycle, the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra has you in mind, for a cycle scheduled over the next two seasons:
No. 3: 17 December 2023 (Ivan Fischer)
No. 7: 19 January 2024 (Myung-whun Chung)
No. 5: 2 May 2024 (Klaus Mäkelä)
No. 8: 20 June 2024 (Christian Thielemann)
No. 2: 27 September 2024 (Andrew Manze)
No. 4: 3 October 2024 (Daniel Harding)
No. 1: 8 December 2024 (Vladimir Jurowski)
No. 6: 17 January 2025 (Simone Young)
No. 9: 6 February 2025 (Riccardo Chailly) (*)
(*) For No. 9, "in voltooide vorm" translates as "in completed form". Guess we'll learn later which completion that Chailly will use.

The Haas version includes several bars cut by Bruckner. Haas thought that the cuts were made under duress, but his edition does not represent any performance of the symphony during the composer's lifetime. It is considered by many to be "musicologically incorrect" (my phrase) but many conductors, including Haitink, Wand, Karajan and Thielmann, have preferred it to the Nowak edition published in the 1950s. Haas's membership of the NSDAP meant that he lost his official positions after World War 2 and his Bruckner work was continued and replaced under Nowak's direction.
