I heard the opening movement to Symphonie fantastique on NPR today and listened to the whole thing, I'd forgotten how great it is.
The only reason I found out about it a long time ago is because I heard that the fifth movement inspired the opening song in The Shining but the whole thing is great, one of my favorite classical compositions. Highly recommend listening to the whole thing at least once..
@mahonycz13 I like Tchaikovsky's 6th too, haven't heard Symphony of Sorrows though, have to give it a listen!
@nytpu Started listening right now :) I think that my favorite one is 6th from Tchaikovsky. And if I want something completely depressing: Symphony of Sorrows from Górecky. Thanks for this tip though!
