    Slappy ... try "Nessun Dorma" sung by Domingo, Pavarotti or Corelli.

    "Rhapsody" doesn't strike me as a classical work. And it's one of my favorites. When I think classical, I think Mozart and Beethoven and Dvorak. Maybe I'm interpreting the genre too narrowly.

    Anyway, I'll defer to you on this, since you know a lot more about music than I.

    I second Adagio For Strings by Barber. Very emotional

    Are you thinking of "Tubular Bells" from The Exorcist?

    My favorite classical piece is Cherubini's Requiem in C Minor. I own several different recordings of it. It's absolutely amazing! I'll check the CD library and list the remaining nine on my list later.

    Where's the love for the Glenn Gould recordings of the Goldberg Variations?

    Gotta agree on the Nutcracker. Love the Russian Dance piece.

    Just got a Verdi CD in the mail. He did some great opera.

    Also some love for Richard Strauss' Also Sprach Zarathustra. Powerful piece.
