I cannot write without music. Music defines words for me and for the theme of my current work, I require classical music. And I have nothing in my limited MP3/Zune library that really falls into this category. I'm willing to take recommendations.
-
I hear that Mozart guy is pretty good.
-
Anything that rhymes with KART is probably mediocre.
-
Bach - Concerto for 2 violins. Brandenburg concertos. <3 Bach.

No doubt future scholars of classical music will adopt this standard. In the meantime, I will continue to recommend Mozart. Mediocrity is not commonly cited as his principal failing.

we just had this thread like a week ago.

Beethoven. Get the complete symphonies as recorded by the Chicago Symphony Orchestra and conducted by Sir Georg Solti. (http://www.amazon.com/Beethoven-The-Nine-Symphonies/dp/B0000041XV/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1?ie=UTF8&s=music&qid=1220115363&sr=8-1)

A common suggestion and I'm sure you probably already know the song but I like his rendition of it...
Wilhelm Kempff plays Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata mvt. 1

All the movements rock but the first and third movement are woah, especially the third one.
also some Tchaikovsky...
Ivry Gitlis plays Tchaikovsky Violin Concerto 3rd movt

Play Eternal Sonata and just pick out what sounds good
Oh and make sure nobody else is in the room with you

I like Dvorak's New World Symphony.

Some of these recommendations are great and I nabbed a few. Is there anything like Holst's The Planets, btw (don't say John Williams).
For what I'm doing, I've really preferred Dvorak, Holst, Tchaikovsky and Stravinsky. Anything similar to those guys?

I found Mahler's 5th a like to some of Dvoraks stuff.

Check out Erich Korngold (not to be confused with Erik Korngold, the gay pornstar with the 11" hog). EriCH Wolfgang Korngold was an Austrian Jewish composer who later immigrated to America. He lived during the first half of the 20th century. And is primarily famous for his violin concerto, one of his operas, and his many film scores. Try his violin concerto (get the recording with Gil Shaham on violin if you can).

Here's a lovely aria from one of his lesser known operas

Also check out Richard Strauss (not to be confused with Johann Strauss II, the famous composer of waltzes). You've surely heard the opening of his tone poem "Also Sprach Zarathustra" which most people associate with the movie 2001: A Space Odyssey. My favorite tone poem by him is Ein Heldenleben.
