Dear John,
I believe that Dave was being tongue-in-cheek. A jest among friends, no?
Regards – Len.

Dear All
I don't like this if-you-are-this-then-you-must- be-that argument. If you like Wagner you must be an antisemite: nonsense and stop your guying.
Bruckner fans might be a just a few (and not all are men as this site proves as does my wife who, although she would not rush out and buy the latest AB cd under Klemperer or Furtwängler nonetheless, does like the Fifth and Sixth); but as soon as I hear the we-are-an-elite- because-we-are- too-few argument, I insist on being counted out.

Dear All,
I’ve just received my copy of the Bruckner Journal. It contains a report and photographs from the Sixth Bruckner Journal Readers Conference. Seems that most of the participants were men, and all the posters on this site appear to be male also. Any comments? Implications?

Sure ;-) To be honest, I can't remember women appreciating Bruckner music, but most I discuss music with do not even like classical that much. Narrowing the...
