Good choice. The fifth is marvelous too. Klemperer's rendition of Brahams 4th deeply affected in college. But the piece I heard in a concert hall, that most affected me was Britten's War Requiem. When the music evoked the moment of death of a young man on the killing fields of WW I, the chills going down my spine, I feel now thinking about it, almost as much as then.

Any old fifth is good enough for me.

The "Agnus Dei" in Britten's War Requiem is the best thing in it.

Our tenor sang it at my sister's funeral. It was amazing.
