My favorite symphony is: All Of Them!
But ok, for real, I will have to say the Third, especially for the first movement. (Played right, of course, meaning more like Szell's approach than Bernstein's and Bohm's, etc.) it's revolutionary, hard-hitting, masterful; like nothing else in symphonic literature up to that day.
by the way, for those who claim to like the Fourth less, I recommend Bernstein and the NYPO's performance on Sony. it may change your mind.
