Wagner
Schumann
Rachmaninoff
Mahler and Sibelius
Answer
Sir John Barbirolli was particularly fond of interpreting the music of Mahler and Sibelius, two of the most important late Romantic composers. Mahler's symphonies are full of drama and emotion, while Sibelius's music is often lyrical and evocative. Both composers wrote music that was challenging to perform, but Barbirolli was able to bring out their best qualities.
