.....that he was one of those "idiot savant" types, and not just a little insane. I once saw a short drama (on cable TV) about his "counting illness" and treatment; titled something like "The Bizare Affliction of Anton Bruckner". Wish I could find a video tape of it.When listening to his #9 symphony, I've always thought I was peeking into the lunatic's mind. The strident brass followed by the helter-skelter of woodwinds and strings, followed by another climax (2nd movement). Then the odd opening of the 3rd movement. Just plain nuts!
My 1st real exposure to Bruckner was Gunter Wand conducting #9 with the Chicago Band. It was creepy and wonderful at the same time. Been hooked on Bruckner ever since.
