Listening to the Becker Symphony 1 I think this is the first time I have heard a work that seems to combine elements of the symphonic style of both Brahms and Bruckner. Do others agree or disagree? I like his control over the brass section. My criticism of a number of the unsungs symphonies relates either to a hesitant or rather formulaic use of the brass section. This affects their Finales particularly. The strings and woodwinds are generally handled well by them in contrast. The Becker has good integration of the 3 sections though.

Same sound world as Canning's Fantasy on a Hymn Tune.
