As an organist Anton Bruckner was acclaimed and respected throughout Europe, but left behind only a handful of organ works. His pupils followed suit in this respect, even those who took over some of his positions, such as Karl Borromäus Waldeck who became organist of the cathedral and the City Parish Church in Linz, Rudolf Dittrich, later Court Organist in Vienna, and Josef Vockner, who took over Bruckner's organ professorship at the Vienna Conservatory. In this concert six young organists from the Linz area are presenting works by Bruckner and his pupils, whose themes often have their origins in lessons with Bruckner.
