I listen to a little classical (sort of) I listen to the Gladiator and Braveheart soundtrack, The lux Aeterna from Requiem for a dream, Dead already from American beauty, Carmina Burana by Carl Orff and Promontory from the last of the mohicans are a few of the classical ish things I really like and am looking for some more.
Got any tips on really epic classical tunes.
Try finding the Last of the Mohicans OST.
Youtube if you want.
Are you looking for classical music or soundtrack music? They are two entirely different beasts…
I would probably say soundtrack music, good call.
But im open, like I said big epic tunes.
Another one I like is the reservior leg shaving scene from Cabin fever
Check out Children of Dune OST, it’s got some nice tunes…
Inama Nushif is the song you’re looking for, although all of the other tracks are okay too.
There. I get chills everytime I listen to it.
Modern Classical Piano Yaan Tiersen, youtube that shit, he is immensely talented.
Older classical piano i cant go past Bach. So much emotion in that music.
The braveheart soundtrack is a cracker i agree.
You’d probably enjoy traditional music like Mozart, Shaichozky (shithouse spelling?), Piet Gynt (by edward Greig) is fantastic, tells a story.
If you like Gladiator and such, check out the rest more of Hans Zimmer pieces. They are all really good, especially theme for black hawk down and Gladiator.
But my favorite of all time music for working out and jogging has to be Immediate Music. Really epic songs. Check out their albums Trailerhead and Themes for Orchestra and Choir. I am sure you’ll love them. You brought me out of lurking just so i can tell you about this great music.
Here is one example of my favorites…really pushes you. It gets good at the :50 mark
Check out ‘The Fountain’ soundtrack. Its by Clint Mansell who did the Requiem for a Dream ost.

Godspeed You! Black Emperor
Also, Massive Attack did the soundtrack for a movie called Danny the Dog. It’s quite good.
Neither of these are “classical” in the sense that they use modern instruments and sampling, but the basic, classical structure is still present.

Guys, I’m sorry, but this was a softball, and you blew it. Look up Basil Poledouris. Conan’s composer (Destroyer and Barbarian). Also Robocop. Also the Hunt for Red October. Also Red Dawn. Also Free Willy 2. Okay, that last one kinda blows. But still…sing it with me now…
DUN-DUN! Dundundundundundun…dundundundundun…dundunDUN!!!
Okay, now for real. You owe it to yourself to track down a good recording of Holst’s The Planets. “Mars, the Bringer of War” is probably the one you’ve already heard out of here, and it’s solid, but the whole thing is great. No, but seriously, if you can listen to “Mars” at high volume all the way through, and not immediately want to kill someone and eat a steak, you are a robot. You should probably go through at least Saturn at that point just to calm yourself down.
“The Death of Tybalt” from Prokofiev’s Romeo and Juliet is good.
“The Great Gate of Kiev”, from Mussorgsky’s Pictures at an Exhibition is…majestic? You’ve probably heard it. It’s not really get you going music, but it’s pretty badass.
Back on soundtracks: The Thirteenth Warrior soundtrack is really, really good.
No piece of classical can get me going like the scene in V for Vendetta when Parliament gets blown up to the 1812 Overture. That shit was in my head for WEEKS.
Mahler’s “Titan”, especially the stuff near the end, if you’re into thunder.
Flyin’ the geek flag high tonight…

(I think my connection timed out while sending…sorry if this ends up being a double post…)
The soundtracks to A Clockwork Orange and 2001: A Space Odyssey have some great classical compositions on them, especially 2001. A personal favorite is Requiem for Soprano, Mezzo Soprano from 2001.
Gustav Holst’s masterpiece “The Planets”.
After you hear it, you will realize where all modern sci-fi and heroic soundtracks originated from.
If you want this album, PM me and I can send you the tracks.

I love the fact that your talking about classicaly inspired music and all I can think of is O.D.B. listening to 2001: a space Odyssey.
