Lift Your Little Paws Like Antennas to Heaven!
I'm looking for some classical recommendations (shocking, I know), I really want to expand my literacy of classical music, but I find a lot of it is a little to airy and polite for me (I've already written off Mozart completely for this reason (I know he was anything but polite but his music is so loving insipid)), my background has a lot of really heavy music and minor keys in it, I love swells and dramatic dynamics. Things I know I love are Vivaldi's Winter movement, Beethoven's fifth, large chunks of Carmina Burana, Toccata and Fugue in D. Basically I'm looking for the music that post-rock ripped off.

You want the Romantic period. Like, probably basically anyone in the Romantic period. See if you like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ITTbY1n3Iz8

edit: Also, before you totally count out Mozart, try listening to Lacrimosa, it might be your thing.

Sibelius was awesome for like 80% of it but I found the two thirds mark really hard to care about. Lacrimosa was great as well so thank you for that.
