My favorite symphony is Rachmaninoff Symphony #2 op27.
The first time I heard it I fell in love with it. The record belonged to a friend so I traded a Carmina Burana recording for it. Second choice Mahler Symphony #6.
Third any Brahms. Fourth Beethoven #6.
The unfinished Symphony.

I am a sustaining member & love your station. I listen via my computer every day. It makes my day. Thanks
