Has anyone any views on Bruckner's finales? Are they a problem? Are they too long? Do you wish they'd go on forever, or do they just seem as though they do?...
Ken I often struggle more with the Scherzo's because of their repetitiveness? However I am most fond of the Scherzo to No 8. The finale to No 7 is very short...

keine Problem with the finales for me--the scherzos though, i find the least attractive of Bruckner's music--expect the 7th and up--the fianles are always full...
good reply igor--i dig the 5th's finale--who doesnt!--with its intro of themes and final piling up of them in the majestic few minutes--the coda? 'dug...
i like sinopoli's bruckner ok--the end of the 5th is great--distinct horns--and his resphigi's pini de roma is superb! dug ... Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Search -...

I humbly apologize for the previous message, but because of a LAPSUS I used a wrong term: obviously it is not “CONFRONTATE”, but “CONFRONT”… So that...

Thanks, Igor and thanks, Ben, for your comments on the Bruckner finales. This has given me some ideas to play with – probably just repeating yours in...

Igor, First off, Igor, you are way ahead of me in your knowledge of music. Your choices of Sony’s Ormandy and Szell are excellent. I, on the other hand, am ...
Dear Al Heiss, I would like to thank you very much for your reply, I really appreciated it. I’m not sure I’m way ahead of you as for music knowledge (you...
Hi Igor, You said you were taking a conductor's course, therefor without a doubt you have more musical knowledge than I. As you acquire CDs from my list, you...

Juan, I am on the same quest as you, but I haven't got around to listening to anything yet. From what I've read there are a few possibilities. Franz Schmidt...
I am infrequent here, and of course Ken is right, but I found something of brucknerian majesty, scale, drama and rigour in the symphonies of English composer...

Hello Ferrerleon, Awfully nice to find someone who agrees with your choice. My family does not like Bruckner at all, so I am a lone voice. I spent an afternoon...
