A number of people requested some recommendations for good
classical titles; Here are some titles which I think are 
excellent compositions:

Rachmaninoff: 	Rhapsody on a theme of Paganini
Bach: 		Orchestral Suites (1-4)
Beethoven: 	Symphony #9, Piano Concerto #5
Schubert: 	Unfinished Symphony
Berlioz: 	Symphonie Fantastique
Prokofiev: 	Lt. Kije suite, Symphony #1
Tchaikovsky: 	Symphonies 4,5,6
Grieg: 		Holberg Suite
Bartok: 	Concerto for Orchestra, Rumanian Folk Dances
Franck: 	Symphony
Saint-Saens: 	Symphony #3
Handel: 	Water Music
Respighi: 	Pines of Rome, Ancient Airs and Dances, The Birds
Violin Concertos by: Brahms, Beethoven, Mendelssohn, Sibelius,
		Tchaikovsky, Bruch #2, Prokofiev #2.
Rimsky-Korsakov: Scheherazade


I you send me specific interests, I'll be happy to give specific
recommendations; Also say if you want just titles or want information
on specific recordings.




It's great to finally see discussion of classical music on the net!
