Classical is something completely foreign to me, but I'm listening to Vivaldi's Four Seasons for the first time now.  Wow.

Just days after 9/11 - BBC Orchestra.  Samuel Barber's Adagio for Strings.  In a million movies (great in Platoon).

specifically 1:46 - 2:00... if anyone plays piano you can see how peculiar his form is...
also the decrescendo at 1:11 is something else...
oh jeez.

No Gustav Mahler? IMHO anything that he composed was utter genius. I'm no classical music expert by any means, but Mahler opened the door for me.

I play this a lot around Christmas time, Vivaldi's Gloria & Bach's Magnificat...just wonderful!

I hear ya, recently bought Mahler's 2nd on vinyl... mindblowing.

also.. big fan of Dmitri Shostakovich's 4th, saw it performed earlier this year, incredible live experience.
