I don't know about you guys, but there are moments (many moments) in which the last thing I would listen to is to a Bruckner symphony (any Bruckner symphony). Unfortunately, the poll will not let me vote for "none of the above".... And I do love Bruckner...

But those are the times when you do not want to listen to a Bruckner symphony. The poll is only concerned with the times when you do wish to listen to them.  ;)

What would keep me from listening to a particular one if I want to? Almost all obstacles (not enough time, neighbors or family dislike loud brass passages etc.) seems to apply to all of them. Except that one needs 20 min. more for the 8th than for the 1st, but none is short or soft.

Interesting version of "Which of these Bruckner symphonies can you listen to any time you want?"

Furthest thing from my head when I made the post, that's for sure.

The symphonies I know the least are 0, 00, and the 2nd. I plan on listening to the 2nd today at some point to get reacquainted with it. It's been too long. The same goes for 0 and 00.

Nos 5,8 and 9 are IMHO the greatest but No.3 gets my 'listen anytime' vote, especially in the George Szell recording.
