Which is your all time favourite Symphony?

It is very difficult making a choice, because there are so many symphonies that could go in that position.  Messiaen's Turangalila Symphony is a favourite - the only problem is that despite its name, like most of the choices above  it's not actually a symphony!  I love Honegger's Second Symphony for Strings.  Of course, Beethoven's Fifth (the ta-ta-ta dum one above).  Nielsen, Symphonia Espansiva (the 3rd).  Charles Ives' Third.  Mahler's Sixth and Ninth.  I could go on forever, so I'd better shut up.  :)

My favorite Mangione track is "Bellavia." It is so beautiful and uplifts me everytime I hear it! (It was one of the first albums we bought after we got married in 1977.)

So What is one of my favorites

If I had to choose one, I would have to say W.A. Mozart's Requiem in D minor. Other runner ups would be Beethoven's Seventh Symphony, John Coltrane's Giant Steps, Billy Strayhorn's Take the A Train, and maybe Johannes Brahms' First Symphony.

I like him, his music is very haunting, take Pictures from an Exhibition as an example, the start is very triumphant but then is slides into this almost insane and twisted symphony. Excellent.

Ok, here you go.  Beethoven's top 10 list.  Keep in mind that the first few numbers would be readily recognizable, but as the list goes on it would reflect my own personal preference.\n\n1) Symphony #5 in C Minor (note the 1st movement)\n2) Symphony #9 in D Minor (note the 2nd and 4th movements)\n3) Piano Sonata #14 Op. 27 no. 2 (widely known as the Moonlight Sonata)\n4) Fur Elise or Bagatelle in A minor, not sure of the opus number\n5) The "Emperor" Piano Concerto (which is actually concerto No. 5)\n6)  I'll reserve this spot for all of the string quartets.  There are sixteen of them in all.  They're some of the best music ever composed by anyone in the earth's history.  I'd put it up against anything The Stones, Prince, Miles Davis or Madonna ever put out.  (Of course I have nothing against those artists, they're some of my favorites.)  Listen to Op. 127, 131 and all of Op. 59\n7)  Symphony #7\n8) Egmont Overture  (I actually prefer one of the three Leonore Overtures, but this one is much more popular)\n9) The Mount of Olives (in particular the Hallelujah section)\n10) Great Fugue in B-flat Major, Op. 133 (before you listen it may be a good idea to read up on what a fugue actually is and listen to some of J. S. Bach's Preludes and Fugues for organ so you could really appreciate Beethoven's).\n\nI hope this helps.  Beethoven's musical output (in particular the Nine Symphonies) altered music history.  Historians use his life as the dividing point between the Classical (1750-1820) and Romantic (1820-1900) periods of music.  With Beethoven the symphony becomes longer and more developed.  He also composes a smaller number of them, instead of pumping them out with the ease of blinking (like Mozart with over 60 of them and/or Haydn with over 100)--a characteristic that composers after him would mimic (Brahms and Schumann have only 4, Tchaikovsky has 6, Mendelssohn has 5, etc).
