This is great, thanks!
the first movement actually has two development sections
1:06:28 is interesting.
Thank you! I had no idea that the Finale had all of the conventions of sonata form buried in there!
Wow, the 4th movement comes so unexpected but yet so tender, it‘s perfect.
59:10 there is something so majestic and hopeful about this part, I love it
I love that part so much too! The dead are risen, and it is like you can imagine an army of skeletons marching to the Dies Irae theme!
To those who put the time of a favorite section and why it is liked--thank you! I do check those out.

This timing is impeccable, I just got accepted into my uni orchestra and we are playing this this semester. Excited to play oboe on this!

Without going into the merits of this music, don’t you find the cadence of the 1 mov using chromatic scale weak?
personally i think the huge climax that comes just before that ending coda wouldve made a far more impactful and satisfying end to the movement
I think its supposed to leave you unsatisfied. After all, it's the first movement.
