It is hard to explain but it is different. When I sit in my chair and play something then there is a very distinct deference between the events when I play Bruckner and non Bruckner. In fact I think I listen differently Bruckner and non-Bruckner music.

Bruckner music is like arousing some kind of internal resonances within me. I admit that I very frequently sing while I am listening Bruckner. It is not even singing in a normal sense but some kind or purring has tuned and fluctuate with Bruckner’s harmonies. And those Bruckner’s harmonies! What a magic!

Take just one symphony – the 9th for instance. The play by Giulini with Vienna and listen that fantastic change tonality at 3:15, or listen that induction at 9:03 and the further development, or even better listed the opening of the third movement of the symphony. It is like the whole world is swelling into a giant warp. If you can’t play or get this music well that trash your radio or trash yourself…

Still, the most beautiful I think in Bruckner the soft moments when the harmonics moisture is being condensed into the clouds of forthcoming thunder. The same first movement 8:05 - nothing happens but hear those horns calling the forces in the background and feel that slowly building pressure….

I absolutely adore this music. Bruckner is like a surgery on open brain - you just need to relax, apply a significant dose of lubrication of very own ego and let the Bruckner’s waves to disturb your senses and your awareness in own unique ways.
