One of the classical albums I remember growing up with was the Planets Suite by Gustav Holst. Listening to it now, I recognise a lot of different parts from movies, and it's a joy to listen to while reading.
As it's Christmas I'm listening to an mp3 of carols from St Paul's Cathedral bought it last year. There is actually a new CD just out of carols from St Paul's.
Tianwa Yang playing a selection of Sarasate pieces.
Zigeunerweisen (Gypsy airs) is the current track.
Howard Shelley - Mendelssohn - Piano Concerto No. 1 :)
Second movements glorious. (nod)
Where's all you classical music fans, lets bring this thread back to life.

Listening to some Haydn symphonies, boy he sure wrote a lot.
Symphony No. 31 starts with a rasping blast on the French horn, which figures as it's called the "Hornsignal" (rofl)
Haydn Symphony No. 70 never heard this before.
