Anton Bruckner Ein Leben mit Musik

“As a nuanced, objective, and demythologizing introduction to Bruckner, Diergarten’s study succeeds admirably. Musical examples are provided for those able to read them, and for those not, he writes about the music in a generally approachable and comprehensible way. … Diergarten’s essentially traditional biography is the fluent, lucid work of an expert musicologist in tight control of his sources … .” (Andrew Barker, Austrian Studies, Vol. 33, 2025)
