That said, we all have our blind spots - one day, the secrets of Mozart's G Minor symphony will reveal itself to me in the same way that the glories of the others have done for many years already. Many of us believe Mike, that the Celestial Philharmonic will doubtlessly be playing the music on Anton Bruckner as we approach the pearly gates, so never give up !

Hi Ralph
Ok. I am willing to be converted. Can you reccomend a couple of cds ?
The nearest I have come so far has been "quite liking" Nelsons. I suspect because reviews have generally been of the "not really the best Bruckner" kind.
I have tried Rattle (hated it), Karajan, Jochum and Thielemann (boring), Tenterden (dull).
As a guideline, I am passionate about Sibelius, Shostakovich and PMD.
Advise would be appreciated, I am ready fir conversion!!!; I know its me!!!
Mikeh, your antipathy to our beloved Bruckner is most painful to us devotees...but maybe one day you will experience a Pauline conversion and stay away from such distractions (although the composer himself was prone to making chaste but unreciprocated advances to young ladies).
I would prefer the escorts! Oops, did I say that?
Come for the Bruckner; stay for the escorts!
