It's one of my favourite ever pieces. My orchestra performed it, one of the best moments of my life, I got such a high when the maestoso section kicked in, it's enough to make me cry (not good on stage lol). I went through a period of listening to it basically non stop, I still listen to it regularly. It's a gorgeous piece and has so many amazing points in it, apparently it's on Babe the film about the pig but I've never seen it. When we performed it though, I didn't really know it inside out (well the first violin part but not the entire piece back to front) until afterwards when I bought the CD and really got into it. The quietish part near the end of the first movement is so beautiful, then all of a sudden you hear the organ creeping into it, just as a pedal note in the background. It's so well written, even though it's 'the organ symphony' it's really subtle. I could go on about it all day :-)
