Steverino, I feel with Bruckner, not like with anybody else, people shall practice holistic approach to listening. It is not juts melodies and sounds of tunes but the whole experience of being who you are exposed to the whole experience of proper presentation of Bruckner. It is about absolute submerging, not only your listening attention but rather the whole inner-you. Sometimes Bach can deliver it but Bach is too brilliant with his insulting laconism and truly genius simplicity and might be too much to handle. With Bruckner the geniusness is defused and in addition Bruckner is never flashy. You do not feel that you are listening music with Bruckner but you just deal with some kind of out of this would force that you are trying to get in resonance and to ride. Where Bach frequently reminds you that he is a genius-composer, Bruckner never put himself in the picture. Funny, I have absolutely no interest about Bruckner personally and I never read even a single book about him. Bruckner does not exist but the force he created is her with single push of play button.
What I can propose if you are interesting. I think you live somewhere in East Cost. So, spend 200 bucks and fry to Boston. I will take a day off and play to you my version of Bruckner. I will not tell you about cartridges, power cords and cable elevators. What I will do would be playing for you the interpretations of Bruckner music ever were committed to recording media and in the condition that I hope will do some justice to Bruckner experience. I do not think you will be able to find a whole lot of similar opportunities and if you like Bruckner music then I think that my version of Bruckner playing is fairly unique, well at least worth $200 to expirence…
