Georg Tintner

Georg Tintner was an Austrian-born conductor best known for his deep affinity with the works of Anton Bruckner. Born in 1917, Tintner's early musical life was shaped by his time in Vienna, where he studied at the State Academy of Music and Performing Arts. Fleeing the rise of Nazism, he eventually made his way to New Zealand and then to Australia, where he continued his musical career. Tintner was deeply respected for his thoughtful, unhurried interpretations, particularly of the Romantic and Late Romantic repertoire.

Later in life, he gained wider international recognition through a series of acclaimed recordings for the Naxos label, most notably a complete cycle of Bruckner symphonies. His interpretations were praised for their clarity, warmth, and fidelity to the composers’ intentions. Tintner passed away in 1999, but his legacy lives on through the "Tintner Memorial Edition" — a collection of his performances and compositions that showcases the breadth of his musical insight and passion.
