I heard the Wolf Glen scene alone much more recently (at the same concert as IGI I do believe; Strina may even have been playing in it?!)

Was that the OAE birthday concert last summer, George?  Yes I was indeed playing in (most of) it. 

It was indeed, Strina! Quite some evening that! Delighted that I can add it to the list of concerts that it turns out I have heard you playing in and, now, hissing in.

They told us they were expecting that concert to last for about two and a half hours.  Ha!  I was very impressed more people didn't make a run for their trains/tubes/buses.  But it did have a strong sense of occasion about it.  Parts of it felt like a conductor audition - each one trying to outdo the last!   Cheesy

I hope you don't return the hissing next time you come to a concert I'm in, George!   Grin

I definitely agree with Martle re The Rite of Spring.  However, the scariest music of all for me is undoubtedly the penultimate scene of Don Giovanni.  I find it absolutely shattering.
