The most intense climax I've ever heard in a piece of orchestral music. The horns, the strings, the drums, 5 minutes of build up before this... it's incredible.

When I would listen to this song in college sometimes I'd stop listening after this part, and I still think it's somewhat strange to have such an astounding climax so soon in a 20 minute song. But I guess this was meant to score a play, so maybe it corresponds to something that happens in the play.
