The orchestra played B7 last year and I can testify the first trumpeter (regardless of "quality") cannot just play without abandon from beginning to end. Bruckner did not compose with earthly bounds in mind. It is not a case of having enough chops to get through, it is more about being psychologically stable enough to survive the layers continually thrown at you.
 
Rowuk, there are very few orchestra in the world that can play properly. If you want to have a truly stunning experience how orchestra shall look (not even sound but look) when they play Bruckner then do yourself a treat.  By in Japan a DVD with North German Radio Symphony of Hamburg playing B4 under Günter Wand. It was during 1990 Schleswig-Holstein Music Festival   and it is in Lübeck Church.  The play is phenomenal, truly phenomenal and when you see HOW the orchestra behave then this feeling of spectacular get magnified.
