In Reply to: "...for no reason apparent to me." So: You heard the Berlioz. What was there not to love? posted by clarkjohnsen on February 12, 2007 at 11:34:10:
Mr Schwartz may be a good critic but has penned a real whopper in the review Clark cites.The least performed Beethoven symphony, by a wide margin, is #4, followed by #1. In forty years of concertgoing I have yet to hear a live performance of either.
No 8, cheerful and full of good tunes, is quite popular.
