I have recently one of those "audio visits" where
a g guy from far away lends with his morono-emblematic jazz interests spent an evening
in my listening room. As usually we play some of my recording and spin some vinyl
and as usually I was holding my vomiting reflex when he was overly spiritual
over Miles's "Sketches of Spain". Anyhow, it is what it is and it is
not a problem.
As usually I did not let him to go away from my visiting
room without obligating him to listen some of my Bruckner. He admitted that he
never heard Bruckner before. Well, it was late and I knew that I can play only
one movement, so I asked myself: what single Bruckner movement might be played
to a person to demonstrate the essence of Bruckner music if the person has no knowledge
about Bruckner? It was interesting questing and it is not a first time I ask myself
this question. I invite you to share your views, if you have any. What was your
first Bruckner Bruckner movement what you first time "got it".
Wify feels that First movement of 7th is the most indicative
to demonstrate what Bruckner is all about. I think it might be a bit difficult
for new listener sand I think they need more like scherzo-like music.
