The one hundred and seventy-sixth classical recording: #435 Johannes Brahms - Symphony no. 3
As much as I talk about the more aggressive, wilder pieces in here, it's also nice to have a piece like this symphony, one where it's less about the bombast, but it feels more stately. It's quick, it's formal, but it's still big without going extremely loud with these sounds. The lack of loud brass instruments creates a more striking sound, one that gets you listening more intently and keeps it more in depth. It still retains its majesty.
