It's all about the music, dude! Sit down, relax and listen to some tunes.

Steinberg's Fourth Symphony ("Turksib") is on uTube

The Fourth is way different from Steinberg's first two symphonies - it's lighter fare and kind of like a combo of Ippolitov-Ivanov, Gliere, and Khatchaturian! Of course, Steinberg's masterpiece is his profound (if I may use that word) settings of the Passion Week chants for unaccompanied chorus, of which, amazingly, we now have had two wonderfully performed recordings in the last couple of years.

I would prefer to describe the style of Steinberg's first two symphonies as elusive, rather than lacking a unique voice. The Second Symphony especially has some gripping moments (at least for me).
