Symphony No. 1 in D minor, Part 1 by Havergal Brian
Brian - Symphony No 1 in D minor, 'The Gothic' (1927)

While normally, I rate an entire symphony (not just one movement), I have made a couple of exceptions. The first was "Mars, Bringer of War" by Holst, on which I have since changed my mind and decided I like the whole thing. The second is this symphony by Havergal Brian. The symphony is in two parts, and the second part, which has a choir, is absolutely not my thing. So, this ranking is for the first part of the symphony only.
