Thanks for all the input. I'm a Big Orchestra fan. Honestly, I do have complete list of Mahler symphonies. Also Bruckner and Shostakovich. Shos is another favorite, however I wouldn't compare to Mahler since I found the 2 composers are very different from each other.
Bruckner is pretty close, especially symphony 4, however Mahler is more emotion and less "attack" compare to Bruckner.
The reason I picked 3 and 5 cause I found them most sensible and beautiful pieces from Mahler. Of cours other are wonderful too, like the 4,8 or 9, but they are on a different scale.
Smetana is great and of course "ma vlast" is always the most beautiful song for me. I'm not familiar with Karoly Goldmark, but will give it a try.
Alexander Nevsky is pretty powerful as well. R.Strauss, Holst (the planets) are very "attack" and "fire"...
Again, what is most closest to Mahler 3 or 5? Especially 5?
