Excellent choices one and all!
I'm very happy.

although Adagio for strings is undownloadable. Seemingly some crack-pot DJ's recorded a mix version of it (which is utter crap) and that's all I can find ๐Ÿ™

Oh well....
The rest is very good!

And then when you're done selling your soul to Satan to satiate your aquiescent consumer apathy you can throw a party to celebrate the death of our collective consciousness.

You won't go far wrong if you check out everything composed or conducted by this man:

www.leonardbernstein.com

If you're really keen then get his DVD set of 'Young People's Concerts" where he runs through the A-Z of everything anyone, young or old, needs to know about concert music.

Enjoy! ๐Ÿ™‚

I have a vocal version of that by a French group called...??? I forget.
But it's really good.
By the way, where are you downloading these from?
For dramatic stuff I would suggest Saint-Saens "Symphony No.3" or Dvorak's "New World Symphony".

I knew you were going to write something like that. haha

I thought you were going to write: "If you want classical music, check out Buddy Holly or Elvis."

I cant take it any more:

Fuhrer = Fault
Führer = right the ü you dont know like ä + ö as well
Fuehrer = still right as ü is the same as ue

When relating to German language be sure to make it right.

What you are relating to the 3rd Reich anyway ?

Für Elise is simply for elise you plonkers.
