the holy trintity

Actually, it's Bruckner 7, 8, 9...

Although Grant Burge in the Barossa actually make a wine called 'The Holy Trinity'. It's from shiraz, grenache and mouvedre, so there you go.
cheers,

Well, you can tell I'm Jewish: I misspelled Trinity!

Sure it's not Sax?
 
If only Beethoven's 8th were better, he would have let Bruckner in the dust. Of course the 9th might leave any other composer's trio of symphonies in the dust all on its own.

I'd actually take the back-up first.

No love for 5?
Haven't given 5 as much time as I should, I must confess. Of the 3-9th, I know it the least. 4, 5, 6 are a fine trio, but they don't overshadow 7,8,9 (sticking with the Trinity theme).
And a better 8th from Beethoven wouldn't make any difference. The staggering monumental genius of Bruckner 8 stands unmatched. In fact, in the entire symphonic repertoire, maybe only the Adagio of Beethoven 9, and the finale of Brahms 4 can run it close.

Ok Graeme, I will give you a little bit of the benefit of the doubt. I enjoy Bruckner's 8th, but it has never moved me (even live) the way Beethoven's 9th does. So tell me what you feel are reference recordings of the 8th. I will get my hands on 1 or 2 and report back.
