I posted a question yesterday and got a very wonderful answer with some lovely piano and opera songs which I love. I also LOVE orchestra music....so i was wondering if anybody could give me some really really really excellent peices they like for orchestra with that classical/baroque flair maybe even some romantic.....not Beethoven pleeez i have and adore every symphony of his.......i m only familiar with half of mozarts......can anybody give me some more? something kinda like vivaldi's concerto in G or like a monteverdi piece but by different people? hope i'm not asking too much just give me the name of the composer and song title!!! thank you sooo much

the 5the symphony by Ralph Vaughn Williams, some well respected music critic once said that it is the piece he wants to hear before he gets on a plane just in case the plane crashes. And how about some Haydn? Mendelssohn "Italian", "Scottish", etc

What was really funny at Palm Beach Atlantic(1975) - our class of 12 Music Theory II students encompassed pianists,vocalists, and instrumentalists (elec bass and guitar)
At the end of the year we were asked to write the 3 composers we enjoyed listening to the most. We really split 20 different ways on 2 and 3.....
but the # 1 for all was Johann Sebastian Bach.
I liked Tocatta and Fugue in D minor for organ
and there are many others - a great fugue master
enjoy

Bach's Brandenberg Concertos and Orchestral Suites for Baroque
For classical, Haydn's London symphonies (93-103). Symphony # 94 is pretty famous.
Handel's Water Music
