I 100% absolutely agree with you to the extreme fff max on your Rach 1 comment. It's drastically underrated, underplayed, and underappreciated.

yeah

if that link works it should show u a description of the piece
its really a great work imo.

it was only a failure because it was so innovative and the conductor was a prick.

Same as Comme_le_Vent but with Brahms 2 (obsessed with the second and last movements)

[comme_le_vent]

ill add some more mahler - 3 + 6 are particularly moving.

i think numbers 2 and 6 are the most immediatly captivating, because of their attention grabbing openings.
