Today the electricity was not so bad, and I thought I would listen to the only Bruckner 7 I have, Walter with VPO, 1961, on LP. This is my second session with it in the past week. Hard to beat that 1st movement, musically, and I am starting to get the 2nd and 3 movements (what they might be, musically), but I still do not get how the 4th movement brings this symphony together, or closes it. Sure, it's great when the horns are going off, but I still do not hear that the 4th movement is "of a piece", despite I can hear the ways the themes go together. Do I need better sound, or better play, or is mine just a typical rookie response? No doubt others have heard this more often and thought it through more and better than I have, and I am interested to hear more on the subject.
