Hi Bruckner devotees. I am a young musician rooted in Mozart, Handel and Bach who has lately 'discovered' Bruckner's music. As I am still quite a stranger to Herr Bruckner and his output, and not quite used to Romantic music in general (apart from Mendelssohn), I would appreciate very much any suggestions or recommendations as to recordings and such, or any information in general. What would be some good works by Bruckner to start me off and introduce me to his music? Also, can anyone explain why Bruckner is comparatively neglected (say compared to contemporaries such as Tchaikovsky or Liszt) if his genius was equal to, if not surped, many other great names of his day? Thankyou very much.
