Great Orchestral Blasts!

[camstrings]

Every few years one hears a piece that blows the mind. Recently for me it was Strauss's Death & Transfiguration with Karajan conducting the Berlin Phil, in particular the concluding six minute section: simply awesome.
Other such pieces have been the Prize Song from Meistersingers with Domingo and Brahms Academic Festival Overture with Harnoncourt conducting. Anyone care to add similar experiences? (They were all listened to at high volume! )
Thanks.

I love orchestral music too.

My favorites are filmscoes composers, like John WIllians, James Horner, and Robert W Smith

I like to listen to Stravinsky's Rite of the Spring at a high volume.
