HELL YEAH!!!

One tutti passage of Bruckner's is worth all the symphonies of several other composers. I can't think of anyone that can produce such walls of sound.

@sirwootalot I definitely agree on Mahler 2. I like many of the Shostakovich ones as well. I believe I've heard both of those while not remembering specifically what those ones were. Wagner's music is adulterated with opera though :)

@SecondAgeOfReason I completely agree with you that bruckner's one of the best at it, especially in this and the second movement of his ninth symphony. If you want to hear *the* best though, look up mahler's second symphony, shostakovich's 5th or 8th, and wagner's... well, fuck, *anything* of his really. :p

@cpthornman I totally agree.

Who needs rock music when you have this.

Whether it's the brass being too slow, or the violins rushing in the beginning, I can't tell, but it defintiely ruined the aesthetic for me. =/ Not in sync at all.

I used to always skip to the Finale, but now after hearing the Symphony from the beginning, the themes in the Finale take on a new meaning.
god, in this symphony (and most of Bruckner's others) he makes all others look totally pathetic and trivial.
