Forty-plus years of listening to classical music, and I have yet to get to Bruckner. While some casual listening has given me the impression that he out-wrote his material, I fully confess that I have not given the poor old guy even the hint of a fair shot. But I'm going to hear his Sixth in concert next week, and I was wondering whether any of you would like to weigh in on him. Any comments, short or long, would be great: What do you like about him? How should I approach him? What should I listen for? Basically, anything you've got to say, if you're inclined to say anything. THANKS.
