I like the music of both David and Colin Matthews (a concert highlight a couple of years ago was going to see Colin Matthews Alphabicycle Order). David Matthews may be too conservative for many tastes, but I believe he demonstrates that there is plenty of life in the symphony. I love this work especially for its brief, dramatic scherzo and the beautiful variations on the hymn tune Down Ampney in the third and concluding movement.
I would have liked to post a youtube link, but I can only find the Dave Matthews band.
