Alkor edition
The Alkor Edition is a music publisher and an agency for musical stage and orchestral works.
The Alkor Edition emerged from the Oscar Brandstetter company founded in Leipzig in 1934 to continue the Critical Bruckner Complete Edition, which was renamed Bruckner-Verlag Leipzig in 1944. When the company was re-established as Bruckner-Verlag Wiesbaden in 1948, the company's headquarters were initially relocated there until Karl Vötterle brought the publishing house run by Fritz Oeser to Kassel and accepted it under the name of Alkor-Edition Kassel in the Bärenreiter publishing group. The managing director is the daughter of the Bärenreiter founder Karl Vötterle, Barbara Scheuch-Vötterle .
As an agency for stage and orchestra, the Alkor-Edition sells not only its own works, but also the performance material of the Bärenreiter-Verlag and numerous foreign publishers it represents. The most important titles in the Alkor catalog include the stage and orchestral works by Georg Friedrich Händel , Christoph Willibald Gluck , Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart , Joseph Haydn , Hector Berlioz and the Strauss dynasty - based on the respective critical complete edition - as well as the Nowak editions of Anton Bruckner's symphonies . The Alkor Edition also includes such important operas as Beethoven's Fidelio , Halévy's La Juive , Dvořák's Rusalka , Smetana's The Bartered Bride , Gounod's Margarethe , the Oeser version of Offenbach's Les contes d'Hoffmann and La belle Hélène as well as the ballets by Peter Tchaikovsky .
A central segment of the Alkor catalog concerns contemporary music, in particular the works by composers from Bärenreiter-Verlag such as Jean Barraqué , Günter Bialas , Beat Furrer , Vadim Karassikov , Rudolf Kelterborn , Giselher Klebe , Ernst Krenek , Philipp Maintz , Matthias Pintscher , Andrea Lorenzo Scartazzini , Thomas Daniel Schlee , Charlotte Seither , Miroslav Srnka , Ulrich Stranz , Manfred Trojahn and Heinz Winbeck .
