Any further thoughts after that Darren?
I think it's finally falling into place now Fergus. I love this performance - what a great interpreter of Bruckner Wand was!

I am delighted to read that Darren. I have always been a lover of Bruckner's music as you know and I have never found any of it difficult or inaccessible so I like to ask what people's difficulties with it are just to understand their problem.

I think people get a tad annoyed by the countless false crescendos.. of which No.3 probably contains more than any other... ;-)

I suppose that I just take him, warts and all, as a given at this stage.

Me too Fergus.. Bruckner's works were something I fell in love with upon first hearing... quite literally.
