In his Neuheiten, Hans Roelofs writes: ... Schaller spielt die historische große Orgel der Abteikirche Ebrach, wobei er deren Registrierungsmöglichkeiten einsetzt um eine Brücke zu Bruckners symphonischem Werk mit seiner typisch dunklen Klangfarbe zu schlagen; auf diese Weise vermitteln die Werke einen ganz anderen Eindruck als z.B. bei Horn! (Schaller plays on the historical great organ of the Abbeychurch of Ebrach, on which he uses its panel of registrations to make a bridge to Bruckner's symphonic work with its typical dark timbre: the works provide so with a fully different impression than, e.g., by Horn!)^[1]

On Musicweb international, John Proffitt writes: CD 2 is filled out with a selection of Bruckner’s original organ works, plus a reconstruction by Erwin Horn from three pages of Bruckner’s sketches outlining an improvisation he gave in July 1890 at the wedding of Austrian nobility. Bruckner was internationally famous for improvisation on the pipe organ and was publically acclaimed for this during tours to Britain and France. However, for whatever reason he was not inspired to any substantial composition for the instrument. Most of Bruckner’s original organ works are occasional pieces of little significance within his body of works. Gerd Schaller performs them on the Eisenbarth Organ of the Abbey Church of Ebrach.^[2]

On his website, John Berky writes: This new release marks the Ebrach Summer Festival's 25th anniversary and it is a marvelous collection of Bruckner's works. ... To fill out the set, Gerd Schaller shows his skills as an organist with a selection of Bruckner's solo organ works. The winner here for me is the "Festive Music," an arrangement by Erwin Horn of the improvisational sketches that Bruckner wrote down for the wedding of the Emperor's daughter, Marie Valerie to Archduke Franz Salvadore. Bruckner performed the improvisation in 1890 at the parish church in Bas Ischl. It is full of quotes from the Vienna version of the Symphony No. 1 and is a striking organ showpiece.^[3]
