Bruckner's 9th Symphony was recorded three times by the Philharmonie Festiva under the baton of Gerd Schaller: 2010 with the addition of the final part by William Carragan, 2016 with the completion of Gerd Schaller himself and 2018 in Schaller's revised version. The CD recordings of the Philharmonie Festiva took place predominantly in the abbey church of the former Cistercian monastery Ebrach and in the Max Littmann hall of the regent building in Bad Kissingen. They are part of the long-term planned Bruckner cycle as part of the Ebracher Summer Music Festival. The CD recordings were supported by a cooperation with the Bavarian Broadcasting Studio Franken and broadcast on BR-Klassik. All recordings have been released by the label Profil Edition Günter Hänssler. In addition to the standard repertoire with a focus on the works of Bruckner dedicated to the orchestra and rare musical works and rediscoveries (Carl Goldmark: Symphony No. 1) Franz Schubert: unfinished - "completed" in the four-movement version of William Carragan), as well as the Requiems by Franz von Suppé and the Great Mass by Johann Ritter von Herbeck, recorded together with the Philharmonischer Chor München. The American magazine Forbes has named the co-production of the Bavarian Broadcasting Corporation - Studio Franken with the label Edition Günter Hänssler of the Great Mass in E Minor by Johann Ritter von Herbeck to one of the ten best CD new releases of the year 2015. Already with his first project, the world premiere recording of the opera "Merlin" by Carl Goldmark, the orchestra attracted attention by being awarded an ECHO Klassik Music Prize in 2010 for the "Opera Recording of the Year (19th century)".
