[Sergeant Rock]

There isn't even "one great Bruckner symphony"!

The Third...Wagner said so

I like the ending of the Bruckner 3....especially as done in the version by Karajan/Berlin.

My one quibble is the ending is about 52 minutes too late.

[Ken B]

I've never heard any of my associates refer to any the above music writers as American composers, not even after 3 gin & tonics....or is it 3 gins & tonic?

Depends. If they have a Gordon's, a Gilby, and a Bombay Saphire it's gins.

All of those sound acceptable at this time.....late on a Sunday afternoon.

Nothing like a tall gin and tonic combined with some Ives Concord Piano Sonata comparative listening.

I may be the only guy in Tampa who considers that to be heaven.

As a matter of fact, I'm sure of it!

I've only driven through, but Tampa didn't see so awful that even Ives is better.

Hey powders, what do you think of Havergal Brian?

Coincidentally, I'm drinking this tonight. Goes well with Schumann too

Hey, it's only Tampa...

[North Star]

There isn't even "one great Bruckner symphony"!

There isn't even one great Segerstam symphony!

[springrite]

There isn't even one great Segerstam symphony!

Ain't that the truth! 

[Sergeant Rock]

Hey, it's only Tampa...

  ...hey, my grandparents lived in Clearwater, practically a suburb of Tampa, And I ate my first red snapper there  So, dissing Tampa (or Ives) may warrant bazooka-vengeance

What about the 186th?

There isn't even one great Segerstam symphony!

there is not even one good rachmaninoff symphony....

Now now, just because he didn't give you a rousing solo...

Hey powders, what do you think of Havergal Brian?

No think. Haven't listened to anything by him.

[Sergeant Rock]

No think. Haven't listened to anything by him.

Then you are safe for the time being

He's the English Mennin.
