I really have to say that for me the greatest 5th is Beethoven's ,iYou are right by the weight not only of genius but history, in spite of my defense of Bruckner 5.....

This guy is probably known to you guys, but I just recently discovered him. Love his attitude. He is not too fond of Bruckner either. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wHAiA1ud_uM Check out his 'Best _______' vlogs. Cheers |
I like Bruckner , not in love like Bach or Brahms , but enough to listen now and then . This is my favorite recording . The Maestro had come home to his Orchestra of 20 years for his last time.https://youtu.be/Az-kHLRQhsk?t=45 He was on deaths door in his 90’s and all , including him, knew it . He was beloved by the Minnesota and they gave him ALL they had and in a few months he passed . Just opening with Minnesota . For whatever reason the label has a clip for every page. I have a full recording on second paste , about 6 months before with the Frankfort Orchestra , you can see how frail he was yet he still was the most sought after Bruckner Conductor in the world . https://youtu.be/JNRzpASlh00?t=2 https://youtu.be/Az-kHLRQhsk?t=45 |
