Dvorak's In Nature's Realm, Op. 91 played by the Czech Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by Karel Arcel. My favorite overture out of the Nature, Love and Life triology that includes Carnival Overture, Op. 92 and Othello, Op. 93.

J.S. Bach- Fantasia in G major (arr. Edwin Franko Goldman for band)

Re: Best Endings
Copland's Billy the Kid has a very emotional and climatic ending. I love the harp glissandos that elaborate the orchestral texture and push the music foward.

Re: Dvorak- Clarinet Quintet in B-flat minor (lost)

Dvorak- Clarinet Quintet in B-flat minor (lost)
Is it really true that Dvorak wrote a chamber work for the clarinet? I stumble upon the title while I was browsing a list of his works on Wikipedia. Can anyone confirm this? Thanks.

Re: Favorite Climaxes
The climatic section towards the end of the first movement in Sibelius's Symphony No. 2 is very moving. He takes the somber second theme of the piece and alters it by transforming it into a majestic, triumphant brass fanfare.
