Actually, I see an announcement of Bruckner 2 to be conducted by Andrew Manze / NDR Radiophilharmonie on 10 and 12 Jan. 2024 (from Manze's website)...

Sorry I missed the news from Adriano on the premature death of Dr Gunnar Cohrs. RIP.

As for B2 I find its dotted rhythm quarter note triplet for the trumpet a rather endearing theme. I do think it requires a certain propulsive performance. I have settled on Horst Stein as my favorite here FWIW. But it is not nearly as unsung as the Symphony 0 which is a fine symphony in its own right.

Or the sketches of the early B-flat ;). Die Nüllte -is- being performed this year, btw.
