... he emphasizes the drama in Bruckner (as opposed to the mystical granduer or architectural elements) and his cycles were pretty well recorded (for the time) and use fantastic orchestras (the BPO and Dresden).Of course, this is only what I, as one not always impressed with Bruckner's writing, enjoy about his performances. Someone who is more convinced that by Bruckner's mastery of symphonic form than I am might enjoy the Boulez or Harnoncourt, and somebody who wants the mystical can't go wrong with Furtwangler. To each his own, particularly where Bruckner is concerned.
