1. Elgar
2. Borodin
3. Sibelius
4. Shostakovich
5. Tchaikovsky
6. Mahler
7. Beethoven
8. Dvorak
9. Schubert
When we played this game over on the old R3 boards - Ron's Hogmanay Symphonic Desert Island Sudoku (6 years ago... where does time fly?) - we were allowed a tenth to cover 'un-numbered' symphonies, such as Berlioz's Symphonie fantastique. There was also a rule to enable symphonies with a higher number to be included by adding the numerals together, hence Mozart's Jupiter would be number 5 (4+1).Our chief weapon is surprise...surprise and fear...fear and surprise.... Our two weapons are fear and surprise...and ruthless efficiency....

I rather share ferney's expression of utter certainty in such matters, but here goes, anyway ...
1) Messiaen (if disqualified by Saly .. Sibelius)
2) Borodin
3) Gliere
4) Tchaikovsky
5) Bruckner (by a musical country mile)
6) Prokofiev
7) Dvorak
8) Shostakovich
9) Mahler

OK. Here is my list. I hope Salymap will forgive me, I thought I would do a list where each symphony is special to me in some way, even if it's not my absolute favourite for that number. And I cheated on no 4.
1. Sibelius.
2.Schubert
3. Alwyn
4. Bliss. Ok its not no 4 , but it has 4 colours, and I love it, and its new year.
5 DSCH
6 RVW
7 Rubbra
8 Bruckner.
9. Arnold.I will not be pushed, filed, stamped, indexed, briefed, debriefed or numbered. My life is my own.
I am not a number, I am a free man.

Tricky one this. Beethoven could easily fill slots 3 -9 (well maybe not 4, 6 & 8). Stupid game really.
