Your fav symphony, composed in the last 100 years?

[Contratrombone64]

Yes - begging to differ is probably good on the LvB front with me, Colin. I'll give you an example of where LvB's music is truly awful (and that doesn't include the symphonies by the way): King Stephen Overture the most boring, uninspired load of tripe to come of a quill feather pen in the 18th century. And, the Missa Solemnis, it's just so frantic and demented it's really hard to hear what the singers are trying to impart.

For what it's worth I am VERY fond of the 9th Symphony and personally own about 12 different versions of it. Never want to hear the 5th again before I pop me cloggs.

David, I would not venture to question your likes or dislikes, being so utterly subjective music means different things to different people and that is as it should be, one thing I like about this forum is that in general the members are quite a bit older and mature and do not resort to verbal fights over the one subject that we all enjoy.

So while you are a person of absolutely lousy taste I will sleep to night knowing that you are wrong.

Trying to save up on space or time, Colin? ;)

I just realised we are limited to the last 100 yrs so I should not have mentioned LvB "but he aint been beat yet fellas"

All a matter of taste. Personally I'd rate Mahler, Brahms, Bruckner, Shostakovich, Dvorak, Sibelius higher than Ludwig in terms of the overall qualities of their symphonies.

Shostakovich's 11th.

And for you my dear friend Colin, if you tune into the station mentoined tomorrow at about 3pm you'll hear the Sydney Symphony from the Proms if you like (see the Classical thread for links).

Thank you David, I wish they would make it available as a d/l I hope to be at golf.

Well I did listen to the SSO concert, it was very fine. The Scriabin 3rd symphony was amazing, I loved it.

Having seen my posts elsewhere you will not be surprised to hear I have no favourite classical music from the last 100 years, be it symphony, suite, concerto, sonata or other composition.
