"Bruckner's compositions are a mystery as the whole person is a mystery. How someone who comes from such a narrow background, from rural circumstances, can write such a work with such incredible foresight and aura … When I look at the score as an expert, as a professional, I see this unbelievable mastery that is technically embedded in there. But none of that plays a role in listening. I don’t have to know anything about Bruckner, I don’t have to be able to read notes and still I can be touched."  -- Markus Poschner
