In Reply to: Actually, Szell sold me on the 3rd. I don't get the 6th. The slow mov't of Bruckner's 8th earns him his spot posted by jdaniel@jps.net on January 25, 2016 at 22:05:20:
That Sixth Symphony has that interesting hint of the Phrygian mode in the very opening theme - I usually don't think of Bruckner's symphonic writing in connection with modality, and the opening of the Sixth is about the only example I can think of right now.
