Yes, and just whose idea was that?!   :D

I included the opening and final movements of the First, and the slow movement of the Sixth: I don't think they get enough respect, like Rodney Dangerfield!

Cato, this movement (the Adagio of the 6th is only a very recent 'discovery').  Starting to warm up to the 6th, as a whole, but particular that Adagio movement.

Yay for the 6th!
I chose the first movement from the 6th, such a great symphony.

I have always been astounded by the unusual, almost eccentric character of the Sixth, ever since I first came across it almost 50 years ago.  And yes, that Adagio, with the little funeral march, and the way it ascends to a a resigned, if not quite blissful, repose at the end: now that is the definition of genius!   :o

In my comic novel in progress, there is a scene where a young organist transcribes it for the funeral of a child killed in a bicycle accident.  (Which scene does not sound very comical, but you must read the whole thing to understand the context!)

Absolutely love the 6th as well, I chose the first movement from it as well! :)

I'm glad to see the 6th get some much deserved recognition. Like Sibelius's 6th, this symphony really stands out as one of the unheralded masterpieces in symphonic history I think. That Adagio alone in Bruckner's 6th is enough to boost it's high rating. I'm also quite fond of the 5th and 9th. Both of these symphonies resonate with me. I also voted for the Adagio for the 7th, which is so gorgeous. For the 9th, I voted for all of the movements, because I think each one of them is masterpiece within itself. The last movement, especially, is heart-rendering. Those climaxes with those huge brass chorales will leave a person breathless.

No votes for the finale of the 7th - my whinges about this symphony are incontrovertibly proven to be correct :P
