Thread: Greatest Symphony no. 8

What do you think is the greatest symphony with the number "8" on it's name..

It's the Unfinished to me..

Vote now.

Philip Glass hands down.

Can someone help me? I'va made a mistake in the poll and Bruckner is doubled, it should be Dvorak's.. How can I change it to Dvorak??

While your at it, get someone to add in Haydn, Mozart, Schnittke, Shostakovich, Mendelssohn (string symphony no. 8), Glass, Henze, Segerstam (as if anyone's heard that! ) and Brian.

I was going to vote for Dvorak!

Ditto!!!!!!!!!!

Anton Bruckner, absolutely no doubt about it.

I wish I could vote for two. Then I'd select Brucker's 8th and Bruckner's 8th.

Franz Schubert's 8th is fantastic. But I am not familiar with any of the others so I will have to withhold judgement.

Bruckner has been growing on me lately, and I'd have to go with his 8th here as well.

Close between Ludwig and Franz for me. I ended up picking Beethoven, though.

I voted for "Other"-- Dvorak's Symphony No.8 in G Major.

All right, then- took care of it.

@Chi_townPhilly,

Thank you very much.. ^_^

@Samurai

Your vote in the "other" is counted in the Dvorak.. He has three votes now!!


Is it only me??

But compared to his 5th, 6th, 7th and 9th, Beethoven's 8th is not that popular and is not particularly acclaimed?? It was beat by the Unfinished every time..

Bruckner, definitely.
