Or, depending on your frame of mind, stultifyingly boring.  I don't think
that Celibidache's Bruckner is for everyone and even while I admire it at
certain teims, there are others when I just want to shake him by the neck
and say "for God's sake, GET ON WITH IT!!!!"

I actually took his Bruckner 7 off my player once, I was getting so
frustrated.
