Carragan's completions (1983, rev. 2003, rev. 2006, rev. 2010)

William Carragan produced several revisions of his performing version of the finale to Bruckner's 9th. His 1983 completion was premiered by Moshe Atzmon conducting the American Symphony Orchestra at Carnegie Hall in January 1985. The European premiere by the Utrecht Symfonie Orkest conducted by Hubert Soudant (Utrecht, April 1985) was the first to be recorded (on LP). Shortly afterwards, it was recorded for CD release by Yoav Talmi and the Oslo Philharmonic. Talmi's recording includes also the retrieved fragments Bruckner left so that the listener may determine for himself how much of the realisation is speculation by the editor.

Carragan continued to work on his completion, producing updated revisions in 2003, in 2006, and again in 2010, each of which have now been performed and recorded.
