Puccinis Madam Butterfly is nice

A lot of people dont know that I actually listen to classical when driving on the motorway...Its awesome!

I'm not to clever on titles mind but I remember Rachmaninov Theme For Paganini (is that right?) being really nice and haunting too.

Then again I really like old time Jazz like Benny Goodman and Duke Ellington too

Toccat and Fugue in D Minor by Bach is one of the first pieces of classical music I was aware of as a 14 year old. It was, of course, the music score from Rollerball, a MUST see as a 14 year old!!

Clockwork Orange had a good soundtrack.

Wasn't Clockwork Orange an electronic soundtrack. Beethoven given the Kraftwerk treatment, before Kraftwerk, by Wendy Carlos.

"Freude!"

For pure baroque, try Tout Les matin Du Monde.
