That One Symphony That You Never Get Tired Of....

[BachQ]

You know, I don't seem to ever get tired of HvK's 1962 recording of LvB's 1st Symphony, as weird as that may sound.

You're a weirdo

[Haffner]

You're a weirdo

I honestly try not to be; it just comes out that way!

[Norbeone]

[...] but I always keep coming back to Bach's Goldbergs, WTC, and the organ works.  Emotionally, Bach is my home.

Ditto.

[Danny]

Shostakovich's 10th, especially conducted by HVK from either the 50's or the later 80's one.

[Bonehelm]

Tchaik 4 under the hands of HvK
Bruckner 8 under the hands of HvK
Beethoven 7 under hands of HvK
Mahler 5 under the hands of HvK

Is it just me or are we starting to see a pattern here...

[MN Dave]

Beethoven's 7th and 9th.

Toss in the Brahms 4 and I think that's my answer.

[carlos]

Balafireff's first symphony. I just love it.

[Steve]

Bruckner's 4th 

[Christo]

[The Obstruction]

Haydn 102 must have been mentioned before so I will go for Hartmann 6. Utterly manic but also utterly compelling.

[greg]

You entertain me.

Scott Joplin wrote a piano piece about me  0:)

[Bonehelm]

Bruckner's 4th 

Under who, Steve? Have you tried Wand/MPO on Naxos? It's my desert island 4th. 

[Morigan]

Mozart 37.

Wait, has this joke been done already?
