"I'm starting to believe that Bruckner, like Beethoven, is best done relatively slow".
By sheer coincidence, I happened to listen to Celi's EMI recordings of the Bruckner 6th and Beethoven's 7th and 8th over the weekend (part of my haul from a used CD store). I thought that the Bruckner was fabulous - one of the best Bruckner performances I've ever heard. But the Beethoven sounded simply perverse to me, and I'm not generally opposed to slow Beethoven (I enjoy Giulini, Furtwangler, and Barenboim, for example).
