'Nessun Dorma', (by Puccini) particularly where Pavarotti bursts into his most famous rendition and it's obviously phenomenal finale. 3 tenors link

'Adagio Of Spartacus And Phrygia' by Aram Khachaturian for the romantic at heart. link

'Gymnopedie No.1' by Erik Satie. Very relaxing. Like staring at clouds as a kid. link

'Flower Duet From Lakme' by leo Delibes. You'll recognise it from the British Airways advert.
link

'Moonlight Sonata' - Beethoven. Brooding, deep music. Remeber that it's the Adagio Sustenuto
link

'Adagio Sostenuto (Piano Concerto No.2)' - Rachmaninov. (See if you can get a full recording and tell which modern achey-breaky-tearjerker song uses it's melody.)
link


And for some more modern stuff:
My current favourite is Thomas Newman, famous for that piece from 'American Beauty' -"Any other name" and from 'Meet Joe Black': "Whisper of a thrill" (Where Brad Pitt makes it with that fine looking lady.)

Thanks for your other suggestions. Now I have more ammo for a www.allofmp3.com account. I can't believe how cheap they are.
