What symphony can you not live without?

[semloh]

Hans Rott  -  Only one symphony available, Symphony in E Major.  I CANNOT live without it.

...and I thought ot would have been Mahler's 10th, mahler10th!

[jerfilm]

I think the Bruno Walter Bruckner 9th might be my all time favorite.  Altho all of Mahler would be hard to live without. Unsung would be one of Wetz's.....

Any Beethoven, most Schubert (I've written a new orchestration for the 10th, and it figures there now as well, his themes are just impossibly beautiful), late Haydn (I love them all, but anything post-80 will brightens even the darkest of days), most Bruckner, Brahms'. For the unsung, Ries 4th, Kalliwoda's (do I have to pick one?), Czerny's 1st, Vorsicek's, Lachner's 5th, Gade's 1st.
And I still haven't heard Rufinatscha's

Georg Schumann wrote two symphonies- which? There's a B minor early one and a later published one (F minor, opus 42, 1905).

Oops! reminds me to add the Scottisch (Mendelssohn) to my list. Yours isn't too much, imo

Could someone recommend a source for the Georg Schumann symphony in f? I don't see mention of a commercial recording on the Georg Schumann Gesellschaft site.

[eschiss1]

I know of no recording (well, yet at least). It was published by FEC Leuckart, Leipzig, around 1905, several large libraries have a copy of the complete score I think. (So unless someone's made a MIDI of the F minor, I'm guessing they probably mean the early B minor work. Wouldn't mind seeing a recording of the later one, of course.)

[Mark Thomas]

Georg Schumann's B minor Symphony has been broadcast and the recording is available from this site in this thread.

[BFerrell]

Prokofiev 6th, Moeran 1st, Bax 6th, Sibelius 4 through 7, Klami 1st, Kokkonen 3 and 4, Shostakovich 4th, Walton 1st, Rubbra 6th, that's just off the top of my head.

[Alan Howe]

Ahem - 'Which Symphony' is singular!

[Lionel Harrsion]

Ahem - 'Which Symphony' is singular!

I guess that means Berwald 3, then!

[BFerrell]

Prokofiev 6th

[JimL]

I forget which symphony I picked (Dvorak 6th?) but having just downloaded the Berwald 3 (which I hadn't heard for some years in its entirety) I may be having a "Singuliere" conversion experience!

so long as it has a substantial part with highlighted solo oboe and is conducted by Beecham.
