Great American Symphonies

The list author says:
	"The 3rd Symphony is a masterpiece of Americana"

The list author says:
	"Hovhaness's 6th is a wonderful melodic chamber symphony"

The list author says:
	"Another 3rd Symphony, this time by Copland. This is one of his best orchestral works (in my opinion any way)"

The list author says:
	"Diamond's 2nd is one of the forgotten Romantic symphonies of America in the 40's"

The list author says:
	"What is it with American's and 3rd Symphonies. Harris's is a Classic, if you don't know it you should. Great recording too."

The list author says:
	"The other Harris Symphony that should be heard."

The list author says:
	"Mennin, totally over looked. Both these symphonies are dazzaling displays. The 3rd was written when he was only 23!"

The list author says:
	"Bazelon's 5th has loads of oomph, edgy pulses and great orchestration"

The list author says:
	"The first is a wonderful work and what a start to a remarkable career."

The list author says:
	"A memorial to friends and those of died of AIDS. A gripping powerful work."

The list author says:
	"Albert's first is a tour de force in so many ways."

The list author says:
	"Rouse's first is a tranisitional piece but is a moving 30 minutes"

The list author says:
	"A serial master piece. You'd never tell it was, it's got a real gritty exciting feel."

The list author says:
	"The first is a different take on American Hymn tunes"

The list author says:
	"All the Ives Symphonies are ground breaking and should be part of anyone's collection"

The list author says:
	"Both the Barber Symphonies have much too offer. The sweeping statements of the 1st last long in the mind. The spikey 2nd is dazzling."
