Rattle's Bruckner 7th at the 1996 Proms opened my eyes to Bruckner as a
composer; previously, I just didn't "get" him.  There must be something in
that.  At the time, Rattle hadn't released a recording of the work, so I
bought the Chailly, largely on the majority recommendation of the experts
on <news:rec.music.classical.recordings>, with which I am very satisfied.
