Talking of modern composers, anyone into Max Richter? He's produced some amazing projects, his most recent being one in which he reimagines Vivaldi's Four Seasons:

Lovely Metallica. The emotion in your piece (and the other clips) has a parallel in football.
The first time I went to an opera - a long time ago - I had been to Loftus Road that afternoon, to see Rangers play Manchester City. The match was very good. When friends asked me what I thought of the opera, I recall saying that it was as good as the football.
Bet you don't get this on the Manure forum..... love a bit of culture innit Not going to post a link but Mrs MinT do like a bit of ballet, our middle daughter was quite adept until she discovered gin and men she starred in a local production of the nutcracker at the Marlowe...... The dad at the end of the Billy Elliott was an amateur at the blubbering compared to me I digress but if anyone would be interested the Prom tomorrow afternoon is the Earth Prom and my family are going, but it is being broadcast on Radio 3, but there is a full showing on beeb 2 Monday 18.00 Why I chose to go to Watford instead is open to deeper scrutiny

I just heard about a classical specialist streaming app called Idagio. A bit pricier than Spotify and obviously a much narrower range, but what a difference in sound quality! Siegmund and Sieglinde never sounded better, and not a penny diverted to celebrity podcasters.

This sends shivers down my spine. I still find it incredible that a sound so beautiful can emanate from a human being….and they’re both crumpet. What’s not to like.

I see that someone has already, quite rightly, nominated the final movement of Tchaikovsky's 6th. What a moving piece, it's as though he was composing his own funeral music, as it was shortly after the first performance of the symphony that he killed himself because of allegations about his sexuality.
So, my offering is the final movement of Symphony No.4. Totally different in mood, surely there can't be a more rousing, rumbustious work in the classical catalogue?

I recently stumbled across this. It's eerie, unpredictable and quite haunting at times, but it all flows well. My current favourite classical piece:
"Things had started becoming increasingly desperate at Loftus Road but QPR have been handed a massive lifeline and the place has absolutely erupted. it's carnage. It's bedlam. It's 1-1."

Love this thread! This is a current favourite, not from the baroque era, but definitely with a nod to it: Schubert's Trio No. 2 in E Flat Major - 2nd mvt.
While it has its roots perhaps in baroque, it also feels so modern in its beguiling (apparent) simplicity. And the cello melody gets me every time. I just think this is wonderful. This particular version loses something of the precise rhythm but has such sensitivity I thought I'd post it:
