Title: Dismal rather than Cataclysmal.
Product review: Boulez is'nt cold, really, he's just detached; and there's nothing wrong with detachment, if you're an amputee. The main problem with objective interpretation, of which so many of today's non-inspired seem very fond, is that it never allows the subject--or audience--to be involved. As written, Bruckner's Eight is a glorious cathedral, but here, forget about sentiment, personal transcendence, religious experience, finding the meaning to life, or an adventure to Valhalla, it's little more than a study in architecture.
