After watching Maestro, it has to be Mahler's second symphony, with Leonard Bernstein and the London Symphony Orchestra at Ely Cathedral in Cambridgeshire, in 1973.

Today was Vaughan Williams’ ‘A Pastoral Symphony’, conducted by André Previn. Haunting, mesmerising.

Another vote here for Also sprach Zarathustra. I played crash cymbals in it for our local orchestra, back in my playing days.

I feel your pain, grhazelton. Ads make classical music almost unlistenable on YouTube without paying to remove them.

Simon Rattle and the LSO demonstrating how beautiful Maurice Ravel could make an orchestra sound, in the second suite from his ballet Daphnis et Chloe. (Apologies, I've forgotten how to link this...)

This’ll scare the pants off you. Of his fourth symphony, Vaughan Williams famously said ‘I don’t know whether I like it, but it’s what I meant.’

Fascinating about Ralph McTell’s name, Chris! Also that McTell was pronounced ‘Ralf’ but RVW was ‘Rafe’.

I went to the Royall Albert Hall in London yesterday to see Return Of The Jedi in concert, with the London Symphony Orchestra playing the soundtrack live, and the film projected above the orchestra. Fantastic!
