Leben und Werk in Bildern
This is the second supplemental volume to the complete works. It was awarded the Music Edition Prize in 1998. In spite of various books on the life and work of Rheinberger, until this publication there has not been a portrayal in pictures, with authentic texts, of his creative work and of his influence upon his contemporaries. The present publication fills this need and in preparing the book the editor has been able to choose from a large selection of, in part, previously unpublished pictures which in this collection, as a whole, present a vivid picture of Josef Gabriel Rheinberger in his surroundings and make the course of his development clearly understandable. The texts which accompany the pictures are drawn primarily from contemporary letters, reviews, monographs, etc., and they have been chosen to underscore the images of each picture.

Josef Gabriel Rheinberger
| 1839-1901During the second half of the 19th century Rheinberger, who was born in 1839 in Vaduz (Liechtenstein), was a major figure of European stature. In demand as a teacher of composition and esteemed as a composer, this professor at the Munich Conservatoire and Bavarian Court Kapellmeister made his mark on a whole generation of musicians. The fact that many of his compositions were no longer performed after his death in 1901, despite their high musical qualities, was largely a result of external circumstances. The change of aesthetic orientation which began about the turn of the century led to a radical move away from the conservative-classical ideals to which Rheinberger – like Brahms – had felt himself committed. It was also a fact that Rheinberger never publicized his own works vigorously. The Josef-Rheinberger-Archiv and Carus published a complete edition of works by Josef Gabriel Rheinberger for the first time. The edition, concluded in 2009, has contributed significantly to the fact that the music of this composition teacher and Bavarian Court Kapellmeister from Munich can once again be heard around the world today.

Ein wunderbares Buch! Nicht nur zum Verschenken, sondern vor allem zum Selber-Besitzen. Auf gut 230 Seiten dieses prachtvoll aufgemachten Großbandes erfährt der Leser (beinahe) alles, was er über Rheinberger wissen sollte, auf angenehmste Art und Weise. In zahlreichen guten Gemälde- und Photoreproduktionen ziehen Leben und Wirken Rheinbergers am Betrachter vorbei ... lesens- und sehenswerte Zitat- und Bildersammlung.

Das Buch „Josef Gabriel Rheinberger, Leben und Werk in Bildern” des Schaaner Autors Harald Wanger hat eine hohe Auszeichnung erhalten. ... Wie auch in den vergangenen Jahren hat die Jury des Deutschen Musikverleger-Verbandes wieder sehr strenge Maßstäbe angelegt und nur solche Werke prämiert, die in ihrer gesamten Gestaltung eine besondere Anerkennung verdienen.
