I give up.
[...] does this really merit three seperate topics, rather than one WAYTL post?

I give up.There's no point in listening to something you don't enjoy.
It saddens me to see people calling the first "pompous", but it has occurred to me that while rejecting most rock and roll music in favor of classical, I tend to be happiest with classical music that really rocks. My dad >and I are the kind of dorks

I always liked Haitink/RCO's I iii. Nobody else seemed to have the same balances, the same ease. And while Haitink doesn't really do anything
to make the big movements stand out, I still judge all other recordings
with reference to this one. I also tend to think Haitink's Tragic
Overture is first rate.
The fourth movement really comes down to the big chorale. You need
power in the brass, but you need to maintain momentum. I think Lenny
VPO is one where the ending is just dreadful (can't check now). This
one neighborhood of Brahms the steroidal sheen of Karajan's BPO really
is something, even if the rest of the performance is fairly auto-pilot. Karajan's 60's Brahms 1 is a total bore, if I recall.
It saddens me to see people calling the first "pompous", but it has

of classical, I tend to be happiest with classical music that really
rocks. My dad and I are the kind of dorks who compare the openings of Bruckner 8 iv just because we love the noise.

You are not the only one that loves the beginning of Bruckner 8 iv.
There was a Haitink 8th that wowed me, along with HvK's last VPO 8th.
Like many I gave up rock and roll at 18-19 for classical. Now I have
become less picky and accept the best in rock music and some pop -
along with a lot of jazz. The Rondo Burlesque in Mahler's 9th is
another place I compare recordings, and there are several places in
Shosty. But the real zinger for me is the tam tam at the end of
Prokofiev 5 i. A live Prok 5th with Bryden Thomson will always remain a highlight for me of this work.
