I love Daniel's list.  Is it possible that if I had made a list like this
myself, I would have put down essentially the same composers...even if in
a few cases I may have selected a different work.

Any list that includes a work by Revueltas and also a symphony by Vermeulen
has to be quite well researched.

One quibble though.  Daniel includes the following:

Rautavaara:  Symphony No 7 And Rutavaara:  Symphony No 8

Surely both are meant to be Einojuhani Rautavaara?

Or am I missing another Finnish composer?
