So many tracks are outstanding gob smacking brilliant, however this one has the most brilliant amazing build up! "....The purple piper plays his tune,
The choir softly sing;
Three lullabies in an ancient tongue,"
For the court of the crimson king................ (crescendo)


King Crimson - EPITAPH live In The Court of the Crimson King Steve Hackett & Greg Lake & Wetton. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JaWdZIWTHg4 xxxxx

I'm not claiming it to be the best ('cos I'm not one for that kind of thing) but my favourite is Prelude by Secret Green, which probably qualifies as being one of the longest crescendo'd intros ever committed to record:


(If you play this in the car the beginning is so quiet you can't hear anything for the first minute or so)

Secret Green is the brain-child of Francis Lickerish and his former band are the past-masters of the dramatic symphonic build-up, as this multi-crescendo track ably demonstrates:
What?

Maybe not the 'best' but definitely one of the longest...

Abaddon's Bolero - ELP (Original studio version)

The whole song is one long crescendo with the big pay off...

Interesting thread! So many songs come to mind... , this is not a Top 10s and Lists' thread but do we have to limit ourselves to just one or two? I'd like to list here quite a few songs with crescendos that I enjoy, but several of them I think are very little, does also from any musical piece count or just songs?
 
Yeah I see here great pieces of music!

As it is not a prog only thread, gonna go with Mojo Pin.  So Real also has an amazing 'explosion' towards the end but not as amazing as Mojo Pin imo.

"Megalomania" by Black Sabbath. The whole thing builds until it goes over the edge with the mellotron and Ozzy screaming like a maniac.
