What are the best classical songs out there? Violin solo's, duets, piano solo's duets, famous songs, fast songs slow songs, I'm trying to expand on my classical music listening 🙂

One song I really like that I just heard is called Thanatos (not sure where its from). Its a full orchestra but I like it a lot

Some other good, not-so-well-known stuff:
Any other Rossini overture ( La Scala di Seta, Italiani in Algieri)

Anything by Mahler
Stravinsky - Firebird
Holst - 1st and 2nd Suites for Military Band

I did play violin for 10 years and piano for 9, but more because my parents forced me then actaully enjoying it. I quit about 6 months ago, I'm about to start up again.
 
maybe some of you classical music buffs can help me...


I'm trying to figure out the name of a song and the only thing I know of it is it's in the trailer for an Italian movie called Irréversible

I'll try getting a clip of it when I'm home but if you could figure that out I'd be ever grateful
