Heaviest Classical Pieces
The Top Ten
1 Symphony No.8 movement 3 - Dmitri Shostakovich
What a great list idea! And I like that you make associations with metal music.
2 Glorification of the Chosen One - Igor Stravinsky
The beginning has even more energy than Painkiller.
3 Presto - Summer - The Four Seasons - Antonio Vivaldi
One of the most popular classical pieces, no question why.
4 Symphony No.2 - Sergei Prokofiev
It has a good effect on you if you first listen to the first minute of Prokofiev's first symphony and then this.
5 Symphony No.9 - Antonín Dvořák
Even the slow movement (2, Largo) has a melody like a power ballad.
6 Battle on the Ice - Sergei Prokofiev
Yep, Viking Metal, Battle Metal and even Power Metal
Even the title suggests a metal song.
7 Concerto for Cello, Strings and B.C. in A minor
IT IS VIVALDI I forgot the composer in the heading.
The last movement is pure thrash metal.
8 Festival in Bagdad. Shipwreck. Conclusion - Scheherazade - Rimsky-Korsakov
The beginning was used in the Smurfs when Gargamel's castle showed up but then it sadly continued with Schubert's symphony in B minor.
9 Mars - Gustav Holst
10 Dance of the Adolescents - Igor Stravinsky
The Contenders
11 Symphony No. 2 - Gustav Mahler
12 Concerto in F movement III - George Gershwin
Sounds like a war theme.
