It's all about the music, dude! Sit down, relax and listen to some tunes.

Rob,

i haven't yet heard Celi's 8, but am eager to. i am not trying to disparage one approach to praise another; i agree that Celi brings out the architecture of Bruckner like no-one else---literally stone by stone. i think that anyone who cares about Bruckner should hear these recordings; there is much to learn and much to discover---you will hear things you simply didn't know were there, and while having heard them weren't aware that you had heard them. and the sound is better than anything available from Furtwangler's radio tapes. to me, however, for all the care and loving attention, still, something untimately is lost; that is, you pay a price for all of the above. it's a way, certainly, but not the only way. i think it is a matter of taste; WF's simply sound right to me. that doesn't mean that others are wrong.

by the way, your book goes off tomorrow.
