"ENTRANCE of the GODS into VALHALLA: Wagner's "Rheingold", anything more grand and triumphant?

For me, the finale of Moussorgsky's "Pictures" (Great Gate of Kiev) is more grand - perhaps not more moving - but definitely one of the top finales in the repertoire. You cannot physically get the orchestra louder than those huge E-flat chords... glorious!
