He could have made a multiple choise poll. If they haven't heard the works by the other composers shame on them. I would rather listen to any Nielsen symphony by both Nielsens over any Mahler symphony.
QUOTE=Aksel;339064]We are talking about Scandinavian composers here, so no Finns allowed.
Also, calling Lars-Erik Erik Larsson and Johann Svendsen minor composers is rather strange. Larsson was one of the most imporant Swedish composers of the mid 20th century.
And Svendsen, along with Halvorsen, were second only to Grieg! His output is admittedly rather small, but Svendsen's symphonies are really really great.[/QUOTE]
Sibelius and Grieg for me! Grieg piano concerto is one of my favourite piano concertos!
