Its embarrassing that there even needs to be a disclaimer in the beginning. Classical music listeners just dont know what an opinion is or what it means for something to be subjective

Shosty 11 is SUCH an amazing piece absolutely love to see it here

Nastiest bass clarinet licks in the rep hands down

Really love the Brahms 4. The atmosphere it creates, and the key of E minor contributes to that.

Mahler 8 is an epic piece of music, and if I closed my eyes while listening to the version you posted here, I wouldn't have guessed it was performed by a youth orchestra. So well done, bravo!

really glad to see rachmaninoff's first symphony here, really underrated piece

Great list and I know there is no particular order, but I would still have put Mahler’s second in last or penultimate of the video. I am glad to see that you’re not only a connoisseur of classical piano music !

Чтобы показать эпичность финала 5 симфонии Чайковского, придется вставить ещё 3 предыдущие части

I like the ending of Arthur Lemba's 1st symphony If you count Scriabin's symphonic works, then you must include Poem of Extase

This is fun, thanks! And thanks for showing the orchestras too. People definitely have different taste in music and definitions of Epic. A few here I would choose. I’d add Dvorak 9, Tchaikovsky 5, Saint-Saens 3, and Schubert 9, and a different Brahms, probably the over the top 2, and probably a Mahler but not two of them, too many other good composers.

Good, at least one Bruckner symphony (though ending of 8th could also fit in here), still good to see knowing how much his music is despised lmao

Very interesting list even though as a mahlerian I can't understand why Mahler 2 isn't in the top three :(( Shostakovich is always very very epic and I personnally like his 7th, 10th and 11th symphonies the most just like you... for the seventh you really have to watch/listen to the perfomance of Klaus Mäkelä (my favorite conductor ever... I also met him this summer and talked to him

Some of my favorite symphonies in this list

Shostakovich's 11th should be on first. It is so damn good. Those ominous bells omg, always sent shivers down my spine. It feels like i know the purpose of human existence after listening the whole symphony.

Hi! Would you ever consider ranking all of the Shostakovich symphonies?

Mozart Symphony No. 1 in E flat major, K. 16, written in 1764 by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart at the age of eight.

I have played the timpani part to the end of Sibelius 2nd Symphony and because of the constant rolling required my wrists and arms were fatigued big time

Celibidache’s Bruckner 4… you have good taste

Great choices! Add Bruckner 5

FINALLY rach 1 getting the attention it deserves

Yes finally sibeliussss❤

Beethovens 9th finale is the best in my opinion

At 10:45 the soundtrack and visuals are not in sync as you can see when the timpanist is playing

All epic! That is all I want in my classical music. No soft stuff!

Sometimes, apotheoses in finales don't have to be ultra loud. Take for example the very end of Gliere's 3rd Symphony.

Love hearing the Beethoven finale which is a masterpiece by itself then comes something by Bruckner which (imo of course!) sounds like something and music student could write and something Beethoven could write in his sleep

rachmaninov is sort of overrated and underrated at the same time... people love him just for the melodies and he is usually dumped for that as well, like just a composer that sweeps people but not that deep. however, his pieces are really quite meticulously composed and very well integrated. as for the symphony featured here, the first symphony i think is rach's best especially with the way he, again, integrated it with the motto theme. all of rach's symphonies have a motto theme and the first is probably the most effectively implemented of them all.

Why don't you do a video about best suite endings? i'm sure that holst mars suite would be high on the tp
