Okay here are two more for my friend Sox. I would recommend both of these to anyone who was interested in classical music.

Rossini's Overtures, he wrote many operas which I don't like as a rule, but thankfully many versions of the Overtures from his most famous ones are available in compilations like the one I have pictured below.

Now here is a masterwork by Bela Bartok, two amazing pieces that have been used in so many movies and television shows over the years you will recognize many of them right away. I have three versions of this work, my favorite is the Fritz Reiner/Chicago Symphony version but the Levine CD I have scanned is very good too.

I would recommend playing these on your good stereo or surround, ear-buds just won't do them justice.
