Bruckner Symphony no. 8 2nd Mov. 2/2 Karajan VPO 1979

[FlyHigh1987]

Years ago, I sat on a rock on the Maine coast, watching the Atlantic. Huge waves crested and broke--the water went streaming up over the rocks just beneath me, came racing up to within an inch of my foot. And then it stopped. Power, yes--immeasurable power! but controlled. That is just the feeling I get listening to anything by Bruckner!

The repetitiveness of the phrases, the way the music seems to be built on such repetition, reminds me of Glass.

@Haidimbya I totally agree. The repetition adds another dimension to the music. It's music on top of music.

Bruckner:

totally original

This part of the the 2nd movement makes me feel like I'm caught in a shower of sounds and light raining...

Very brilliant and dignified.
