Well, at least you didn't mention Whitney Houston. SCARY...

the phrase was originally coined by Peter Cornelius and referred to Bach, Beethoven and Berlioz. later the conductor Hans von Bülow (father-in-law to Richard Wagner) wrote in a letter: "Mein musikalisches Glaubensbekenntniss steht in Es dur, mit drei B-en in der Vorzeichnung: Bach, Beethoven, und Brahms, which I would translate as "my musical creed is written in Es major, with three B's in the key signature: Bach, Beethoven and Brahms". "B" refers to the musucal notation for the key Es major.
Hans von Bülow is also known for the statement "I believe in Bach, the Father,
Beethoven, the Son, and Brahms, the Holy Ghost of music"

The 3rd, conducted by Hans Knappertsbusch.(or maybe Carl Schuricht) Bruckner is firing on all six cylinders with that symphony, one of his most dramatic and exciting, but also with a moving adagio.

That is really interesting, Hans von Bulow was such an important conductor, a "father figure" to other emergent conductors, like Bruno Walter, for example.
