Huh, I love the romantic era. There were some amazing piano solos written then.

I don't recall that one. IIRC, The Planets was a suite by Holst.

Yoko Kanno - Cowboy Bebop, Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex (Why are her end credit theme always better than the opening ones?)

Howard Shore - Lord of the Rings

Danny Elfman - So many movies and of course, Simpsons!

Vangelis - Blade Runner

Indeed. Orff is best known for Carmina Burana.

Here.

And yes, he's good, but he's nothing compared to Pablo Casals.. the GOD of cellists.

Don't argue with me.. I'm a resident string player.
