Classical music with BIG ending?performing show opera theater



Try Saint-Saens 3rd Symphony (Organ Symphony)-4th mvt. and Liszt's Les Prelude Tone Poem. Almost any Romantic or Post-Romantic large work will have a grand ending. Also try the symphonies of Shostakovich (5th), Prokofiev, Sebelius, Ralph Vaughn Williams, Samuel Barber, etc.



Musician,composer,teacher.
The Grosse Fuge was originally a BIG ending for a Beethoven String Quartet before it was made a stand alone behemoth.



Also, the finale to Beethoven's 5, 7 and 9 symphonies are beyond comparison for scale and scope of drama.
Berlioz: Symphonie Fantastique



Strauss: Alpensymphonie



most of Puccini's opera Turandot is big. The quiet moments really stand out in contrast. Same goes for the 3rd Act finale to his opera "Madame Butterfly". ( the suicide music still gives me goosebumps)



On a slightly smaller scale, Brahms Academic Festival Overture
