I notice that there are several major pieces that may well work fine in the concert hall or opera house, but I find just too big for domestic-scale listening.
Top of mind since the recent BAL on Mahler 6 is the last movement of that work. And most of Mahler 8. Another for me is the last movement of Beethoven 9. Then there are a clutch of the noisiest operas of Richard Strauss - Elektra, Die Frau ohne Schatten and others.
These are all composers whose music I love.
Am I alone in this? Are there others that boarders can't deal with at home?
