Hans Gillesberger was one of the most successful choir directors of the post-war period, who trained and influenced generations of Austrian music teachers and musicians in his educational work. On the occasion of his 100th birthday, the book ‘Hans Gillesberger. Voice Coach, Choir Director, Conductor’ (by Michael Gillesberger / 2009; ISBN 978-3-85068-837-6) was published.
Gillesberger had high standards of quality and attached great importance to homogeneity, text intelligibility and intonation. Under his direction, many records were recorded together with the Vienna Boys' Choir (various masses, Bach cantatas, Bruckner motets, Bach's St John Passion, oratorios, etc. - see discography for details).
