Hi,

I just finish watching some anime from ADV,in the sneak peek of Evangelion tv series,there is a symphony played at the same time,I don't know what it is, it's complex(lot of instruments play at the same time),fast paced, energetic,with human voice as instrument(like alot of soloists scream on top of their lung),and loud too.does anyone watch anime here and know the symphony i am refering to?

could you recommend me some complex symphony that is similiar to what I just describe?

Thank in advance

Can't help with the Evangelion thing, but you'll probably like Carl Orff's Carmina Burana. I've found a lot of such anime/game soundtracks are basically ripping off Carmina Burana.

Second that. Carmina Burana came to my mind as well.

I have never seen this sneak peak, but it is most likely not Carmina Burana, although that is the most popular movie soundtrack ripoff work ever.

It is most likely the Ode to Joy from Beethoven's 9th Symphony, 4th movement, part of which plays in part of episode 24.

I would recommend buying the CD with Beethoven's 5th and 7th symphonies conducted by Carlos Kleiber (this is the usual recommendation), and then there are enough good recordings of the 9th that if 80% of them mysteriously disappeared it still wouldn't be a big problem, but I liked the one from Gunter Wand's box set of the Beethoven symphonies. There is standalone CD of the 9th by Wand and I would assume it is of the same nature as the one in the box set.

It is most definitely Beethoven's Ode to Joy from the 9th. Funny how this music is so often associated with devastating violence! The performance used is probably either Japanese or Czech.
