I can help, but I'm not sure if this video is sharable (it mixes sheer class and poo in one glorious epic. Look out for the moment when the video's star has a little wipe, check, sniff and fling)
Edit: it appears the video works, but don;t watch if easily offended, disgusted or eating lunch.

Has anyone ever looked at their own postings for last day or so? Oh my... so sorry. Was Ullaa
Stravinsky Rite of Spring. About a girl who dances herself to death. Great music, incredible ballet
Four Sea Interludes by Benjamin Britten. Basically a description of the Suffolk Coast in music. When it comes to classical music, Suffolk is premier league!

Not strictly orchestral or classical but both Westworld and Succession have fantastic scores throughout. Westworld in particular with its modern covers in classical form.

No idea when I began here, was a very long time ago. Previously known as Spirit_of_81. Love cheese, hate the colour of it, this is why it requires some blue in it.

Well that's easy...
There's also a terrible version with Tom Waits, but I wouldnt bother.
You're the first person in about 30 years I've come across who's a) even heard of this, never mind b) like me, having it as a favourite! I'm not in the slightest bit religious - atheist/humanist if anything - but it has a hypnotic quality which is absolutely entrancing.

Heard 'The Rite of Spring' live in the RAH on first night of Proms 1981, one of the best nights of my life. BBCSO & Chorus (incl my 2nd coz in the sops) Gennady Rozhdestvensky conducting.
We were sitting up in the gods, the sound was so loud I thought my eardrums were going to burst! It's the kind of piece that you really have to experience live to get the full impact - literally - a physical soundwave.

Sounds amazing. Saw it as a ballet in this strange but incredibly powerful version.

That'll get the worriers on here blubbing for sure....
My abiding memory of Nimrod is from Anzac Day in 1990 (the 75th anniversary of Gallipoli). I was working in Whitehall at the time and in an office more or less directly in line with The Cenotaph.
The Guards band were playing that as a group of half a dozen very frail old men came very slowly from Downing Street to The Cenotaph. All were Gallipoli veterans. Almost certainly the last occasion Gallipoli veterans were actually present.
Sobering to think they're all gone now. WW1 veterans were the old men of my youth.

The back story is amazing.
I like the 'Tom Waits added' version too, fwiw.
Then you'll probably enjoy this: https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p02r9p89 FWIW I had never heard of it until about 10 years ago when I found myself working with Wayne Coyne who wouldn't stop raving about it - I found the Tom W version and didn't get it at all, then he sent me a link to this version and I've been a convert ever since. I think of it with alarming regularity for such an awkward piece.

I'm slightly surprised about that last line - or that anybody liked it, to be honest.
