I am looking for symphonies and composers that can sound like this: intense, loud instrumentals, fast pace, intense choir singing, and very angry sounding:
Examples of things I am looking for.
Can't Find Title (Starts at [1:40])
Can't Find The Title (Song Starts at [0:37])
O Fortuna
Any suggestions (If you could find the names of the ones I cannot find also, I would really appreciate it)
A lot of the guys answering here are jokers, so I'll give a recommendation. I know exactly what you are looking for. I post the links after my description of these pieces.
First, and my personal favourite epic/angry piece is Sibelius' violin concerto. Listen to the one by Maxim Vengerov.
Second, i recommend the Ysaye sonata no. 3/ Ballade, also by Maxim Vengerov (and this one is definitely angry; kinda of creepy at first but gets more epic and faster the more you get into it).
Also try listening to Ysaye's "Obsession", as played either by Julia Fischer, or Ilya Kaler.
Vengerov tends to play pieces quite violently, but I really like his style.
A lot of Shostakovich, specifically symphonies 5, 8, and 10.
Vaughan Williams 4, 6, 9?
Prokofiev 3
Bruckner 9
Symphonie Fantastique
Mars (Holst)
Brahms 4
Dvorak 7?
You want angry? Try the recording of Vaughan Williams' 4th symphony that VW conducted. Seriously disturbing, and a long way from the traditional image of him.
Shosty 5 (Bernstein + NY Phil's good, even though they take the final movement crazy fast), Shosty 7 (Bernstein+CSO — final movement is absurd), Shosty 8 (Solti + CSO), Shosty 10 (Nelsons + BSO), Shosty 11 (Stokowski + Houston Symphony Orchestra)
Some things I like to listen to when I want chaotic music:
Shostakovich's 10th Symphony, Mvmt 2
Dvorak's 6th Symphony, Mvmt 3 (you have to find the right recording of this one)
Egmont Overture
Infernal Dance from Stravinsky's Firebird
