    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.

    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"
