Fiendish Bruckner Symphony Poll

[André]

It's very good indeed, and Haitink plays to its strengths. Bet IMHO is the Stuttgart RSO under Marriner. He takes the work by the seat of its pants and makes it dance, Till Eulenspiegel - like.

After listening to Haitink conducting the Concertgebouw in the Nullte, I need to change my vote.
Not only is it the best of this lot of symphonies, it may be among the best of Bruckner's symohonies.

Allow me to quote myself:

I heard the Symphony 0 last spring in a Toledo Symphony concert (Stefan Sanderling conducting) at the Catholic cathedral, and they made a great case for raising the stature of this work.
