Favorite orchestral works?

[kelly_kelly]

I've suddenly been feeling guilty that I have very little knowledge of orchestral music (basically limited to what I've played). What are some orchestral pieces that you enjoy?

I love the Prager and Haffner Symphonie by Mozart

Hmm, well I guess I should be the first to say Beethoven's 9th

Vaughn Williams - Symphony No.5 and The Lark Ascending
Grieg - Peer Gynt suite
Holst - The Planets Suite
Dvorak - Symphony No.9
Schubert - Symphony No.8, No.9
Beethoven - 9th Symphony
Saint Saens - Danse Macabre

To name a few (pretty obvious ones).

I hadn't heard much orchestral work until late last year, when I managed to get into an orchestra.

Borodin - Polovtsienne dances
Kodaly - Hary-Janos suite
and of course the Nutcracker suite!!!

3.)Materialize
4.)Hear our prayer.
5.)I talk to the rain.
