Johannes Brahms told Anton Bruckner that he just didn't understand his symphonies... and Bruckner replied: "I have the exact same problem with yours." On Tuesday's Performance Today, we'll hear the New York Philharmonic play music by the often misunderstood Bruckner - the gorgeous slow movement from his Symphony No. 8.
