I agree. As you say, there are magical moments in number two, not least the oboe's tragic meanderings in the slow movement and the shattering climaxes of the Rondo, but all in all, the A-flat symphony is more tightly organised and cogent. Hans Richter thought it worthy to stand beside the symphonies of Brahms and who are we to disagree with him?
