Ah got it. Wagner more or less thought the symphony couldn’t do much more after Beethoven 9 - though of course one never be sure how much this was a convenient rationalisation of his musical preferences. Those “superb massive symphonies “ were never going to happen. I’m also not wholly convinced by the Ring as Symphony arguments. Though it kind of works ….

There's also (maybe anecdotal) evidence that Wagner told a friend after Parsifal he had had enough of stage works and planned to write a symphony, but didn't manage to start it before his death. There is of course his early Symphony in C , but that is I think unrepresentative of his mature style.

Actually, I quite like his Symphony No. 0 ('Die Nullte'). Unfortunately, he then proceeded to produce a number of progressively longer versions of it. I think he may possibly have been the subject of more discussions - some of them heated - on the Forum than any other composer.

For those, like me, who actually like Bruckner this from the Bruckner Journal.
For those who have not been collecting the Poschner recordings as they have been released, the "complete" collection has been released today.
It is available on HDTracks in hi-def for the LOW PRICE of $20.98!
Add discount code "ListenHD25" for an additional 25% off...
That's A LOT of Bruckner for under $16!
