Richard Pennycuick asks:

>>By the way, anyone for Holmboe's symphonies?

and John Parker replies:

>Oh yes...It is hard to understand the obscurity of someone like Holmboe.

I am in complete agreement.  All of his symphonies are interesting and
the eighth is a great work.  I wonder how many performances of Holmboe
symphonies have occurred in the United States.  Not many, I'll wager.
