Conductor Goossens' entry for the honor was the Symphony in G Minor of reticent, little-known British Composer Ernest John Moeran. Premiered before a stuffy audience in Cincinnati's Music Hall, Moeran's opus drew pleased applause but no hosannas. Conductor Goossens' pronouncement has been only a cackle.
