Nice, I love Bach, Richard:

Here are a couple of great pieces for full orchestra. Well known, but always a pleasure to hear.

Respighi - Herbert von Karajan -Pines of Rome




Dvorak - New World Symphony - 3rd Mvt and 4th Mvt

Whilst we're acknowledging Karajan ...

Magic, mystery and majesty in this magnificent reading of the second movement of Beethoven's Seventh Symphony.

And this is not von Karajan, but rather Bernstein conducting (and talking about) the 3rd movement, the Gavotte, from another of my long-time favourite symphonies, Prokofiev's 1st (the "Classical").

That set me thinking about other favourite works, so I looked for a lively version of Janacek's Sinfonietta and hit the jackpot with this very nice version choreographed by Jiri Kylian.

Luigi Boccherini: Minuetto






Relaxing music to unwind to.

ANVIL CHORUS, FROM VERDI´S "IL TROVATORE"






Great music, great location.

I like very few of Mozart's instrumental works. By and large, it was his vocal music which created his fame, and these are still faves of mine.

Cosi Fan Tutte 1996 - Trio "Soave il vento":




Der Hölle Rache. "The Magic Flute" at The Royal Opera House Covent Garden. Diana Damrau as Queen of the Night:





Mozart, Requiem Mass in D minor. Lacrimosa

Ralph Vaughan Williams.

A Sea Symphony is a choral symphony by Ralph Vaughan Williams, written between 1903 and 1909. Vaughan Williams's first and longest symphony, it was first performed at the Leeds Festival in 1910.
