Polovtsian Dances by Borodin.
Peer Gynt - In the hall of the mountain king by Grieg (the proper choral version)
O field, my field by the Red Army Choir.
Romeo And Juliet - Dance of the knights by Prokofiev
Lieutenant Kije - Romance by Prokofiev.
In fact Prokofiev is awesome in general.
Can't do spotify at work...0 -
for me having a tad too much Ardbeg and feeling in a mood to try some new music.
Saturday night whigfield, that song should be erased from all records0 -
Polovtsian Dances is fantastic, quite long but once it gets going it's grand!0
-
Are those song's quite fast? As I also come from a rock/metal background and want to find some fast and heavy classical music, something similar to the later part of Vivaldi's Summer (I've got it named as Concerto No.2 in G minor L'estate so maybe that's what it's called..?)0

Give 'em a go.
There's a bit a few minutes into Polovtsian Dances (5 or 6 mins) that is epic!
Here is a video, the sound quality is shocking though.
Starts off nice then turns evil! Then nice again...

It's the only full version I can play at work
I'm sure it'll be better on Spotify.0 -
Another good one is actually 'The Asteroid Field' off the Emprie Strikes Back soundtrack...0

Try "Birdy" by Peter Gabriel as an entreeCycling weakly0

*revised tracklist*
Copland: Fanfare for the Common Man -- had to be the opener
Khachaturian: Sabre Dance -- the ultimate late-for-work commuter music track
Beethoven: 5th Symphony, 1st Movement ("Fate")
Rimsky-Korsakov: Polovtsian Dances, Number 3 (Allegro)
Holst: The Planets Suite, IV Jupiter, Bringer of Jollity
Strauss: Also Sprach Zarathustra
Mussorgsky: A Night on a Bare Mountain
Britten: Sea Interludes from Peter Grimes, II. Sunday Morning
Stravinsky: The Firebird Suite, Infernal Dance of King Kastchei -- you can also hear Stravinsky's amazing Rite Of Spring on the album that this track is from.
Rimsky-Korsakov: Scheherazade, IV: The Festival at Baghdad/The Sea/The Ship goes to pieces on a Rock summounted by a Bronze Warrior -- wonderfully orchestrated piece that sounds just like a soundtrack to a 50s Ray Harryhausen adventure film.
Bach: Toccata & Fugue in D minor -- needs to be played loud, bass turned full on.
Holst: The Planets Suite, I Mars, Bringer of War
Grieg: Hall of the Mountain King
Albinoni: Adagio for Organ & Strings
Vivaldi: The Four Seasons, 3rd Movement from "Summer"
Prokofiev: Romeo and Juliet Suite Number 2: Montagues and Capulets
Mozart: 40th Symphony, 1st Movement
Beethoven: 9th Symphony, 4th Movement extracts -- a version brutally edited down from 26 minutes, just the main theme and finale left .
Khachaturian: Masquerade Suite, Waltz -- diabolical-sounding waltz that conveys a sense of lurking intent or disquiet.
Elgar: Pomp and Circumstance, March Number 1
Orff: O Fortuna -- A favourite in Nazi Germany apparently.
The Russians seem particualrly good at writing stirring, violent-sounding pieces.0 -

Nightwish and Within Temptation are soo good! Also, Rhapsody (think they might be called Rhapsody of Fire now though) are fantastic!
And if you're a Metallica fan: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4sZK4Hd28VA
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D1aMKy6TMjg Not a bad cover but a bit slow IMO.

I don't know if anyone has mentioned Carmina Burana yet, that's quite a famous one.
Others that are less instrumental include Uninvited by Alanis Morisette,Acrylic by the Courteeners and Hands Down by DAshboard Confessional
Also, left field but try Existentialism on Prom Night by Straylight Run0 -
cheers for the help folks, knw I could rely on you lot.
Yeah it was more the classical stuff I was after but cheers for reminding me of some rock acts I had forgotten about too.
Cheers folks, when I am fit and moving at a decent speed (maybe by 2015?) I will let you take my wheel whenever there is a headwind lol0 -

Love this type of thread............
Agree about Prokofiev and I would add:-
Alexander Nevsky - Part V 'The battle on the ice'. My CD has a warning that if you play this too loud it might ruin your audio equipment! Blood & Guts indeed and just has to be loud. I mean Prokoviev loud.
Polovtsian Dances by Borodin is also a good listen, better if you get a chance to be part of choir with a full orchestra. I was once lucky enough to be 'in it'.
Incidentally, whenever I see footage of Jan Ullrich TTing, I hear the Scherzo (2nd movement) from Beethoven's 9th playing in my head. 8)0
