This is a dramatic, invigorating symphony, emotionally uplifting, melodically inspired, and beautifully constructed and orchestrated. And his occasional inclusions of phrases of two (other) of my favorite composers - Shostakovich and Vaughan Williams - are just fine with me; it certainly doesn't effect his basic originality. Now that I think of it, the passage here at 18:30 is more a tribute to than a direct quote of the Shostakovich Fifth.
This is such an awesome symphony. Apparently the composer for Galaxy Quest thought so too, cause he totally “ borrowed” the theme in the last movement for the Galaxy Quest main theme, lol

16.20. Vaughan Williams London and Pastoral Symphonies have had an influence on the Symphony as well other composers.

You can sense some Hindemith influence as well. Deserves to be better known.
