Take a seat in your comfortable recliner, pour yourself a gin and tonic and look down your noses at the masses. Thanks to the helpful suggestions below, you have now discovered CLASSICAL MUSIC. You now have street cred with that hot flautist from the Symphony Orchestra. Or Vangelis. Whoever takes your fancy.
1. Arvo Pärt - Spiegel im Spiegel
2. Tchaikovsky - Russian Dance (from The Nutcracker)
3. Erik Satie - Trois Gymnopedies
4. Schubert - Ave Maria
5. Gyorges Ligeti - Requiem For Soprano, Mezzo Soprano, Two Mixed Choirs and Orchestra
6. Tchaikovsky - Andante, Symphony no. 6 in B Minor, Op. 24- Pathetique
7. Gustav Holst - Mars, The Bringer of War
8. Dvorak - Largo from Symphony no. 9
9. Debussy - Claire de Lune
10. for the hell of it - the very jarring "Threnody for the Victims of Hiroshima" by Krzysztof Penderecki

Inspired by The Rich List, Plevs? A dumb show has inspired a dumb post.
And no, not 'whoever takes your fancy'. If you like Vangelis, then die and spend the rest of your life being Saddam Hussein's pleasure toy in hell.
Bah! You commoners. Precisely the kind of comments I'd expect from people who live in a Labor electorate. "Inspired by The Rich List"? I have never heard of this 'Rich List'. I assume it is on one of these commercial networks. I would also assume that when it is on, I am discussing Russian literature at the time with my backgammon club.
Laugh at classical music, if you will, but I shall laugh for longer, when in two hundred years, not one person will have heard of your 'Pussycat Dolls' or 'Gnarls Barkley'! Ha ha!
