D. Stephen Heersink catalogued his collection for us and declared:
>and I still don't like Brahms' symphonies.
Nor do I, and I've been trying - I have, really - ever since we last had a
not-getting-on-with-Brahms thread over a year ago. Still can't get there.
I have no trouble with the concerti, the German Requiem, most of the
chamber music, lots of other things - but I've just never been able to get
the symphonies to work for me. And what's worst is that I can't work out
why not.
