What Composition do you consider to be the most intensely atmospheric?

For me, I think it'd have to be "Tears" from Rachmaninov's Suite no. 1 for two pianos.

There would be lots of things on this list if I spent a lot of time thinking about it. I'm going to go with the first one that entered my mind:

"The Enchanted Lake" - tone poem by Anatoly Liadov (1855-1914).

Oh yeah, Liadov! His (very passionate) mazurkas certainly deserve wider recognition. Better than Chopin's in my oppinion.

Atmospheres, by Gy

Yanni.

Nuff said.

I can't stand his scraggy for that reason. I can't stand New Age piano music. It's so...pointless, meant to induce the listener into an emotionless trance...

I would have to say Jupiter, Bringer of Jollity from the Planets.

Yanni is also nice,although he has only produced one song that I really liked. I don't remember the name but it features a soprano or alto female singing a part above the symphony.
