We actually agree. His symphonic compositions are too simple and do not hold my interest. Since I really do not know much about music theory (I only go by what sounds good to my ear) perhaps there is something I'm missing here.

No. Knowledge of music theory has nothing to do with it. It sounds to me like you appreciate significant works the most while choosing not to spend much time on the lighter fare.

I would imagine that you like the Brahms German Requiem, yes? That piece to me is one of those rare few that I would gladly pay to play if I had to, and not the other way around. Same can be said about the Rachmaninov Second Symphony.
