Does anyone know any good classical rhapsodies?

The two by Brahms are fabulous and fairly well known. No.1 in B minor and No.2 in G minor performed by Van Cliburn are great examples of piano rhapsodies.
Then of course there is the Rhapsody on a theme by Paganini (Rachmaninov) - one of the best know of all.
Finally, there is Brigg Fair and Dance Rhapsody No.2 by Delius - especially if you like neo-romantic English music.

Liszt's Hungarian Rhapsodys - there are 12 of them in versions both for solo piano and for orchestra. Enescu's Romanian Rhapsodys. Vaughan Williams, Rhapsody 'The lark Ascending' for violin and orchestra

These come to mind immediately:
George Gershwin's "Rhapsody in Blue".
Serge Rachmaninoff"s "Rhapsody on a Theme by Paganini".

Bohemian Rhapsody, but not the one by Queen, the original one. I don't remember who wrote it, though.

Don't forget Claude Debussy's "Premiere Rhapsodie pour clarinette et orchestre" (I don't like the second, for alto sax, but the first is simply beautiful and very well written).
