In theor, the last symphony is the peak of their
creative work. If you like it or find it worth
hearing wirk your way back to earlier symphonies.

Though his last symphony (of 1949) was written after the 1947
party congress where he Prokofiev and Shostakovitch were lambasted
for their 'formalist' tendencies maybe it had an effect? Certainly the 9th
piano sonata also written in '49 takes simplicity to an extreme.
I shall try the 24th (the 25th was also written before 1947 but revised
in 49).
