[unstoppable]

Mozart-Turkish March
Beethoven-Furelise

those are my favorites

 

[SuperFerret]

Vivaldi's Four Seasons are among my favorites, as is anything Wagner. Mussorgsky's Night on Bald Mountain is awesomeness as well.

 

[jaguarr]

Rimsky-Korsakov, most famous for "Flight Of The Bumblebee", is well worth a listen as well.

The Ride of the Valkyries - Richard Wagner (the beginning of Act III of Die Walküre)

For Wagner, I prefer Kinder-Katechismus. The piece was based upon a lyric he wrote for his children to sing to their mother on her birthday.

Guns'n'Roses - Appetite For Destruction. It'll blow your mind.

I play the trombone, and when I was in school, I had a private teacher that went to UGA, she could play that on the trombone.

 

[RogueLDN]

I find that movie soundtracks can be fantastic. Theres a good CD called classic FM at the Movies. Failing that Debussy is good, as is Howard Shore and John Williams

I'm a trumpet player and played that piece in concert when I was in college. It was damn hard. I can't even imagine playing it on a trombone. She must have been incredible.

-Mahler's Symphonies

-Bruckner's Te Deum

-The very underrated Busoni Piano Concerto op. 39 (85 minutes long, 4 percussionists and triple winds needed plus a finale with a six voice male chorus singing a text about music from Öhlenschlager's Aladdin)

-Prokofiev's 2nd and 3rd piano concertos, both violin concertos, Peter and the Wolf and Romeo and Juliet.

-Shostakovich's symphonies.

-Stravinsky's Rite of Spring, Petrushka and The Firebird

-Bartók's Concerto for Orchestra
