C4 is brutal to classical music. Without listening to the score, it would be all but imposable to recommend anything with it.
Now...take this with a grain of salt..if you are using plugs, try the ren compressor. get a feel for what it does to the pianissimo passages. Your noise floor will come up. This is guaranteed. Use the ever so slight settings. Quick rise time and long decay.
I have a VERY dynamic concert I recorded in 1999 and it just so happens I revisited it last night to "see how I did" compared to today. I used analogue outboard compression, never more than 1.5 to 1 and if I recall correctly, all I needed was a few few db on the ppp parts and this bass clarinet solo needed to come up some. In post, I had a rough time with her so the only answer was to regroup, re seat, re record and dub her in. You may not have this luxury.
Also..it does not hurt (if you are very careful and pay close attention to your zero crossings) to region off sections and nudge the level just a shade incrementally during a decrescendo. I know..it is hard but when you are talking about -55dB instruments VS peaks of 0.5dB, you HAVE to accommodate the consumer side of the production.
This, is a total ears deal here.
