It's pretty much got it all; big score, big choir, big scope, big melody and plenty of emotion. He referred to Beethoven as "The Giant" and downplayed his own talent. But the Requiem is, if anything, a work that Beethoven would probably given the nod to. Bruckner takes some getting used to, but his symphonic tonalities are haunting.
