Hmmm, well I'd break the bank and forgo all others to get to that one.

Darren, Mahler or Bruckner? Who do you prefer?

^^ I will do my best to get to that one I assure you. The only thing halting me a little is that I have attended Chailly/LGO concerts before, and I have heard Mahler 6 performed before - I try not to duplicate performances of works whenever possible. That said, Mahler 6 is utterly spectacular :-)

Bruckner or Mahler? I have warmer feelings for Bruckner in all honesty...

Bruckner shades things for me too... but not by as much as he used to... in all honesty, I love both and would put Mahler on a par with Richard Strauss...

I am not surprised, I suppose. On a par with Dickie? Hmm, okay. I would prefer any one of Mahler's works to every single one by Bruckner. Ah well if we all loved the same music in equal measure it would make us a cluster of boring clones, thankfully we don't.

It wouldn't do for us all to be the same, Sean... we'd never help each other grow to love new music...
