I thought I'd just draw attention to my latest symphony as it's generally been well received to date in case there's anyone still here who reads this. No. 18 is among my longest but on the other hand is rather a departure from the somewhat post-romantic idiom of most of the more recent ones. Here my starting point was Bruckner's 6th symphony which is one of my absolute favourites and I wanted to try and capture something of the tunefulness but also slightly quirky and anarchic nature of what used to be the least performed of Bruckner's mature symphonies, though it seems to have had a revival of late. Indeed I pretty well quote him directly in the finale.

I guess on balance I prefer the new one too - it's mainly in the first movement that there are some details that come off better in the (current) Reelcrafter version. On re-listen to the new version, I much prefer it in the Finale - though I suspect you also tweaked the orchestration or at least the dynamics in one or two places, maybe added some detail as well.
