"     Two big musical festivals are to take place next year in Germany. There wil lbe [sic] a four-day festival at Mannheim, beginning May 31, in celebration of the 300th anniversary of the city. There will be two orchestral concerts, a choral concert and a special song programme. Old Mannheim masters, the predecessors of Haydn,  will receive special attention at the first concert. The second programme will be made up from the works of Beethoven, Brahms and Bruckner [8. Symphonie am 1.6.1907]. The choral programme will contain the "Ganer" [sic] mass by Liszt, Coronation cantata by Constanz Berneker and other works.

     The second festival will take place at Stuttgart from May 25 to 27. [... Lilli Lehmann, Händels "Messias" ...]. The second evening will be given over to a choral work by Bach, Brahm's violin concerto, the "Tristan" vorspell and Bruckner's ninth symphony, with the Te Deum [9. Symphonie und "Te deum" am 26.5.1907]. The third evening the offerings will be mostly choral, the closing scne from "Die Meistersinger" being among the good things promised." (*).

Die Deseret News (Salt Lake City, Utah) weisen auf S. 21 nur auf eines der Feste hin:

Auf derselben Seite wird eine Aufführung des "Locus iste" in Preßburg erwähnt [am 25.11.1906]:

"     Beethoven's "Messa Solennis" was sung in Pressburg, Germany, recently, during the celebration of pontifical high mass. The occasion was the seventy-fourth St. Cecilia festival of the Church Music union. A motette, "Locus Iste," by Bruckner, formed the offertory. The performance was under the leadership of Dr. Elgen Korrow. This was only the nineteenth time that this mass has been heard in connection with the church liturgy. The first performance of this sort was in 1835. For almost 60 years the mass was then heard only in the concert-rooms. Since 1891 special services like that mentioned above have been held almost yearly ba the Church Music union." (**).

The Lincoln Journal Star (The Lincoln Evening News, Lincoln Nebraska) berichtet auf S. 12 vom Vorfall bei der Aufführung der 9. Symphonie [am 15.11.1906]:

"     Herr Nikish [sic], conducting a performance of Bruckner's "Ninth Symphony" at Leipzig, created a sensation by rising suddenly from his seat and addressing the fashionable audience. He upbraided the woman [sic] for staring at him through their opera glasses. "Your conduct," he exclaimed, "makes me so nervous that I cannot continue conducting." (***).

Die Manitoba Morning Free Press Nr. 146 (Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada) zitiert auf S. 28 aus einer Kritik vom 7.12.1906 über das Konzert mit der 7. Symphonie:
"Artistic and Financial.

     Edward Ziegler, critic of the New York World, spoke in the following terms of Dr. Karl Muck, the conductor of the Boston Symphony orchestra, on Friday, Dec. 7, after the Boston Symphony concert in Carnegie hall on the preceding evening:

     "It would seem from all indications that Dr. Karl Muck, the new conductor of this orchestra, has breathed not only new artistic life, but also new financial life into this magnificent organization. His conducting last night was again an evidence of his greatness as a leader of musicians and a swayer of audiences. He held his hearers' interest through the long Bruckner work, which lasts more than an hour, and he created a furore of enthusiasm by his leading of the well known Beethoven overture, "Leonore No. 3." He is a man of few words with his baton, but the orchestra follows every movement and gesture with perfect sympathetic understanding of what this forceful man wants. The result is a series of highly interesting readings and wonderfully performed interpretations. The one fear that besets the music lover is that the German emperor will not grant Muck further leave of absence after the present season, for Muck is a favorite of the emperor and great conductors are scarce."
