Bent Sørensen: His second symphony very good, IMHO. He took the strings into some undiscovered byways with novel sounds. I've been listening to Haydn's early symphonies, and interesting to compare. Of course, Haydn was aiming at a different audience, but still very much in common - heavy reliance on strings. But at least Sørensen used trumpets occasionally - totally lacking in Haydn, so far as I can make out.
