1. no way mahler 5 over 2 and 9 2. beethoven dominating sounds about right 3. nice to see schubert's 8th getting some love; first heard it with hal becker and have loved it ever since 4. i was surprised how many of the symphonies i was actually familiar with. 5. sibelius is so heavy -- i can't handle it regularly. 6. i love that bruckner 4 and mendelssohn 4 are next to each other -- i once had a cassette tape that had them on either side. i always think of them as twins.
Cool list. Initial thoughts:

Really? No way Mahler 5 over 2 & 9? Are you trying to pick a fight? I'll try to go back to 2 & 9 with an open mind ;)
