The worst is Don Quixote. Aus Italien is second, though I like parts of
it, which is more than I can say for Don Quixote. Domestic Symphony is
third. For what it's worth, the gap is wide between DQ and the other two.
Those two I can easily sit through. I can't sit through five minutes of
Don Quixote. Part of this is due to my general (but by no means total)
tendency not to like solo/orchestra works.
For the record, I adore Alpine Symphony.
