Anton Bruckner
Puritan Board Professor
Is the greatest piece of music ever written hands down. This includes comparison to Handel's Messiah, Mozart's Requiem and Beethoven's Missa Solemnis, all the symphonies, string quartets, serenades and operas.

I bought the EMI Classics set with Wolfgang Gonnenwein conducting the Suddeutscher Madrigalchor Consortium Musicum.
