Names of some power classical composers or orchestras or whatever.?

Question

I dont know 2 much about classical music. I like the faster, louder, harder, more powerful style, like the Trans-Siberian Orchestra. So what are the names of other composers, or orchestras that have a similar style. From what I've heard of Bach, Brahms, Mozart, etc. they are good, just not this style. So I really don't want names like that. I want loud powerful fast paced classical music.
