Classical and orchestral music with electric guitars

I saw a clip on the news a couple weeks back about a conductor who was incorporating the electric guitar into his orchestra. It sounded suprisingly good, so I've been curious about recordings with similar settings. Any suggestions out there?

Strict classical, or some kind of fusion? Brian Setzer has the Wolfgang's Big Night Out album.

Jethro Tull?

Dressing up something that's already pretty great?
