...they're great, but I was thinking that, back in the day, most of them were a little beyond me as someone just starting out. For me, strophic music (with an A theme then a B theme, repeated etc.; was much easier to grasp than through-composed music, like Scriabin or Mahler for instance.) My humble picks:Grieg: Piano Concerto
Tchaikovsky: Romeo and Juliet Overture
Prokofiev: Alexander Nevsky
Prokofiev: Romeo and Juliet
Wagner: Overtures and Preludes
Falla: Nights in the Gardens of Spain coupled with Rodrigo Guitar Conc
Albeniz: Iberia Orchestrated
Williams: Star Wars/Close Encounters (Mehta/LAPO London)
Grofe: Grand Canyon Suite
Respighi: Pines/Fountains/Festivals of Rome
