Correction: The orchestra that performed Orff's "O Fortuna" (at 5:41) is "UC Davis Symphony Orchestra", not "US Davis..." It's a typo.

Thank you for a useful introduction (for many people) to some of the better known pieces of classical music. It is just enough of a taster to perhaps entice new listeners

You're welcome, and thank you for the great comment! Indeed, the main purpose of my channel is to introduce well-known classical pieces to people who are new to classical music and to share my favorite pieces.
When I was a kid, I asked my grand father an "Also Sprach Zarathustra" LP as a Xmas gift... Well, you can't blame a kid for watching a badass spaceship film, listen to an absolutely spetacular music and think the whole piece would be equally stunning, well, when I could manage to wake up, my grand father long passed away, I still have the LP but I got scared to put it to play again and wake up in a spaceship era!!! 😊😊😊

I would respectfully add "Great Gate at Kiev" from "Pictures at an Expedition" by Mussorgsky with orchestration by Ravel and the finale from Symphony #3, "The Organ," by Saint-Saens. Also the finale of Shostakovich's Symphony #5.
Staggering choice! All spectacular. Many thanks.

Thank you dear Kim for sharing these very exciting moments from the world of Classical music. Many of these are pieces which I heard as a young child, and which contributed greatly to my interest in music. My Dad had a collection of records (of the old 78 rpm type initially), including many of these pieces. I hope the year has started well for you. Here we are very excited, as tomorrow is the vote on Brexit in Parliament, which may have a decisive effect on the future of this country. Have a wonderful week ! With best wishes, Paul

Dear Paul, it's fabulous to have your wonderful review on this video! It's always my joy to read your comments. Thank you! I remember those 78 rpm records, as my mother had many of them, along with 45 rpm records, which many of them were classical music. The year is starting very well for me, indeed, and I hope the same for you. I don't know much about Brexit in Parliament, but I hope the result of the vote will be in your favor. Have a beautiful week!
At 1:24 the pope in the background is probably thinking "I will exorcise him after this demonic performance"

Beautifully played and presented. A small glimpse into the creative genius of the great composers of which many more could be added - Haydn, Bach, Mozart, Mendelssohn, Schubert, Brahms, Bruckner and Mahler. The presentation hints at the greatness of Beethoven who for me is the greatest of composer of all. Listen to his piano sonatas especially the last four.

Bach first, in my opinion. Something brings Bach and Beethoven closer, and place them at highest points. But I agree with you, finally only Beethoven can reach Bach.
