Despite circumstances that would make most men bitter, Anton Bruckner (Sept. 24, 1824 – Oct. 11, 1896) in his mature symphonies and choral works wrote some of the most spiritual music since Bach's. Insecure, he spent his thirties studying with the dictatorial music professor Simon Sechter, who had briefly taught Franz Schubert. Brucker didn't compose a symphony until 1863, the "Study" Symphony, which he withheld (as he did the later so-called No. 0).
In Vienna, Bruckner was considered by many to be a naïve country bumpkin; he got unfairly entangled in the bitter Brahms-Wagner debates that split the city. Bruckner's symphonies were thus the object of myopic criticism from some in the Brahms camp, including powerful critic Eduard Hanslick (however, Wagner, Liszt, and Emperor Franz Joseph I were among those who praised or supported Bruckner). The unprecedented length of Bruckner's symphonies, which develop in slow-moving monoliths of sound, was an impediment for some listeners. Bruckner, an excellent organist,...

A ‘Masterchef’ challenge descended into disarray recently, when a contestant slipped up and managed to slice off the top of his finger.
In scenes which will air on the BBC One cookery show tonight, professional cello player Kennedy Leitch was rushed to medics for emergency treatment after he accidentally chopped off part of the digit whilst peeling potatoes for his task.
The musician – who plays with the Royal Scottish National Orchestra – had the top of his middle finger glued back on by doctors who were called to the scene by concerned show bosses.
As part of the tough challenge, Kennedy and his fellow nine ‘Masterchef’ finalists were helping to peel 20 kilograms of neeps and tatties to accompany a venison dish to serve to some 100 competitors at the Invercharron Highland Games in Scotland.
However, after recovering from the incident, the skilled cellist admitted the finger he injured was the most crucial to his career.

John Torode and Gregg Wallace selected 11 finalists from the first round of MasterChef contestants last night. Children's hospital worker Paul was the first cook handed a MasterChef apron after impressing the judges with a dish of mackerel fillets wrapped in bread with rhubarb sauce and an apple, radish and frisée salad. He was followed into the next stage of the competition by 26-year-old Tim, who got two yes votes for his cod tempura and Japanese sweet potato wedges with dipping sauces. Other success stories were 24-year-old carpenter James, who served up roasted duck breast on red cabbage, photographer Matthew and Italian Sarah, who almost reduced Wallace to tears with her homemade tagliarini.
