What is your opinion of the Bruckner 5th Symphony?

  • Meh.  Pretty boring, but I think Bruckner's works were kinda boring and uninspiring in general. Never felt he knew how to use music to convey or elicit any kind of scenery or emotion.

    The 5th symphony is very cerebral.

  • See I disagree.  As I stated in my opinion before. Bruckner's work was very shallow and uninspired IMHO. I always found his work formulaic and without any real character.   Robotic even. 
    I might think it was cerebral if it had some emotion and elicited mental images, but he doesn't. It's  like MUZAC with an orchestra.
