'Greatest Symphony'

[giles.enders]

People like Simon Rattle, Charles Dutoit and Martyn Brabbins all participated.  I believe the list says more about them than the composers.  One of these had Havergal Brian's Gothic symphony in his list.  It also reflects on the BBC who have an enormous classical music budget.

I feel that this thread has now run its course. Giles has rightly drawn attention to the banality of the journalism indulged in by the BBC Music Magazine - something of which all of us at UC heartily disapprove.
