The one hundred and fourty-sixth classical recording: #856 Aaron Copland - Symphony no. 3
This symphony focuses on a fanfare melody, one used quite tenderly for a fair bit of it, but that it builds up to these big, booming pieces. There's something quite stirring when they come in, but it's the small, gentle parts where it feels the sound really works and gets a chance to explore itself. It's a lovely interpretation - entering my head as describing things in a forest, the quiet glade, chases happening and some playfulness, and it gives that sense of building quite well to its triumphant end.
