i listened to a lot of recordings, and my favorite is markevitch. some conductors may have better moments and better orchestras, but markevitch has the entire work in his head, dead on visceral, in all of his recordings (6 i believe).

ultimately though, there are many fantastic recordings of le sacre, perhaps too many (live steinberg, 1969 boulez, rias fricsay, monteux, list goes on...).

Go to Composer for comfy eh...
Bach. Specifically Solo violin works, or Art of Fugue.

Yeah don't worry, I will re-set it in sibelius. I would never dream of giving a performer a handwritten score. I just find it "freer" to write that way. No bar lines or playback to get in the way.

You need basic to advanced composition skills, all the rules of species counterpoint, voice leading, chord function etc.
Then you need understanding of musical forms, both micro and macro, a really good understanding of each instrument in the orchestra (this can take a lifetime to fully achieve) and a good knowledge of orchestration; What instruments sound like in different ranges, and how combinations of them can make new sounds, and also about chord coloring/voicing.
After that, go and study some scores. See how the masters do it. Beethoven, Mahler, Dvorak, Shosty, Tchaikovsky, etc. Look up the symphonies you like the sound of and work out what makes them tick.
Once you have a solid understanding of how to write. You should start small. string quartets, piano trios, solo sonatas. Work on developing a style that's personal/unique to yourself. Once you've had pieces performed and reworked based on how the performances/rehearsals went. you can start thinking about larger scale works. Composers don't just jump into writing symphonies, and there's a good reason many wait until they're 40 or 50 before starting. You want a symphony to be DAMN GOOD. and often that takes a lifetime of dedicated composition to achieve.
