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... ;-)

Schubert - Symphony No.3 (Istvan Kertesz, Wiener Philharmoniker, London)

Beethoven - Symphony No.3 Eroica (John Eliot Gardiner, Orchestre Revolutionnaire et Romantique, Archiv)

Interesting, as I have only recently been considering revisiting that cycle!

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