Dvorak's 9th symphony holds a special place in my heart, as it was the first and only piece of classical music I owned and liked as a child. It would take me 30 years to truly appreciate and enjoy classical music like I do now past this Dvorak's 9th, but we it shows we can all get there eventually. I've also been listening to Dvorak's 7th as well.
I'm still very new to Bruckner, but his 4th has my attention. I particularly like how he uses traditional Classical era structure, such as Sonata form in the 1st movement, which naturally extends into the 3rd movement beautifully. Great symphony!
Ever since I went to the Alabama Symphony Orchestra's showing of this piece, I've been fascinated with this particular symphony (Mahler's 9th) and Rattle's interpretation is beautifully done as well.
