What are your top 3 symphonies?

1. tchaik 6, 2. tchaik 6, 3. tchaik 6 --

in all seriousness my top 3 apart from that are probably 1. dvořák 9 (obvious), 2. shostakovich 7 (first symphony i heard performed live and it hooked itself into my brain), aaand 3... probably sibelius 2 at the moment tbh (symphonybracket introduced me to this one and i keep going back to it, the second movement in particular makes me lose my mind)

#obligatory disclaimer my Symphony Appreciation Skills are amateur-level! i don't know a lot i'm just here for fun!#(for 'fun' read 'unwarrantedly strong opinions')#i do really really like mahler 2 as well. it's my nemesis in the bracket at the min but if we lose i won't be able to be too mad abt it #on account of mahler 2 being really very good #aand uh shoutout to schubert 5 as well for something more classical-flavoured. it's not on this list bc it doesnt explode my brain but i #listen to it fairly often. cozy :))#also hello thanks for asking!!! what are your favourites!!! sorry we're obliged to be mortal enemies in the tchaik 6 vs mahler 2 battle!#ask #recapitulation #gay belligerence
