Never Satisfied
People who are always changing their minds can be a little maddening to work with. "I want it this way. No, wait, how about that way. No, now that I think about it, this other way is much better. You know, I think I liked it better the first way." Anton Bruckner was one of those people. He revised his fourth symphony no fewer than seven times. Today's show features one of those revisions, as the Toronto Symphony and conductor Peter Oundjian perform the first movement from Bruckner's fourth.
