In Reply to: I have an idea - Let's define the Four (War)Horse symphonies of the Apocalypse posted by gd on March 6, 2017 at 13:58:21:
Because some of the ones listed by others, I almost never see on concert programs. And I don't listen to radio.
That said, my list of 4 is:
1. Anything by Shostakovich
2. Anything by Stravinsky
3. Anything by Mahler
4. Anything by Mozart
