> I have several recordings of the Bruckner 7th including Karajan, Wand, Giulini, and various Celibidaches. Listening to the 1st and 2nd movements is a joy of course, but the last movement always eludes me. Its themes are clearly based off of the opening melody of the first movement, but emotionally the music as a whole never seems to grab me. Does anyone have a recommendation for a recording that includes a "revelatory" reading of this elusive movement in particular, one that brings out what is ostensibly great in it?

The last movement of the 7th is definitely episodic and meandering - but
so is most of his
work! The versions you mention are fine, but for something a little
different I can suggest a live performance by Furtwangler with the BPO
for its drama and total conviction.

Or for something with individual phrasing Janowski with the Suisse
Romande is quite interesting.

My preference is for the Rosbaud recording - but I'm no Bruckner expert...

Right figure, wrong concert - this was the first concert of the subscription series, and not the Gala, which (a) hasn't been held yet and (b) is almost booked out. But one American commenter suggests another and more direct link between urban blight and the economics of the local Symphony, viz. that the streets around the Seattle concert hall itself may have become unpleasant to go through.

I was in downtown Cleveland on business and decided to attend a concert. I was surprised to find out that Severance Hall was quite a cab ride away.

The organ is amazing, and there it is hidden in a little, wonderful lookin=

Her rendition of "Fortune" leading off CD2 is really good too.
