Ravels Radical Rivalry Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 The end of Barber's Symphony No. 1 is just plain goddamn ridiculous. Uh huh! I love it so much. One of but not my favorite symphonies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ravels Radical Rivalry Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 Ok, so here are some of my favorite glorious endings: Copland's 3rd Symphony (greatest live music experience I have ever had) Barber's 2nd Essay for Orchestra Barber's Symphony No. 1 Beethoven's 5th Symphony Greig's Piano concerto in A Minor Gershwin's Rhapsody in Blue Beethoven's 9th Symphony Debussy's La Mer Handel's Messiah (Worthy Is the Lamb) Summon the Hero's by John Williams Tchaikovsky's 1812 Overture Puccini's Turandot Prokofiev's Alexander Nevsky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Austenite Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 The most glorious, loud and pompous finales IMO (without looking into the scores): 1) Mahler's Second Symphony. 2) Shostakovich's 5th Symphony. 3) Puccin's (actually Alfano's) closing scene in Turandot 4) Tchaikovsky, a league of his own with 1812, Marche Slave, Swan Lake and 2nd, 4th and 5th Symphonies. 5) Elgar's Enigma. 6) Rachmaninov's piano concerti. 7) Orff's Carmina Burana. 8) Mahler's First Symphony. 9) Beethoven's 9th. 10) John Williams's score for ET.

froglegs Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 Чайковский definitely has some loud finales. As does Mahler. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
