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.
