In Reply to: Grandmaphone chose Walter's CSO Bruckner 4th as "pick of the bunch" posted by jdaniel on April 18, 2007 at 23:08:49:
Bruckner's stuff is the worst sort of pompus, self-important, over-blown Romantic Era musical BS. I'm challenged to believe he could be anyone's favorite composer, (except maybe Clark's).Why anyone would want to listen to this bilge in mono or in 50's stereo is utterly beyond me.
