In The Hall Of The Mountain King

Johannes Brahms ( 7 May 1833 – 3 April 1897) was a German composer and pianist. Born in Hamburg into a Lutheran family, Brahms spent much of his professional life in Vienna, Austria. In his lifetime, Brahms's popularity and influence were considerable. He is sometimes grouped with Johann Sebastian Bach and Ludwig van Beethoven as one of the "Three Bs", a comment originally made by the nineteenth-century conductor Hans von Bülow.

Tchaikovsky - 1812 Overture (Full With Cannons)

The famous prelude to "Die Walküre" is the "Ride of the Valkyries". As an exceptional piece to unveil an opera about female Norse archetypes with powers to condemn the fate of war soldiers, "Ride of the Valkyries" is revered for its climatic and invigorating nature, deeming it popular and best suited among many films and TV productions.

Night on Bald Mountain

Franz Schubert - Ave Maria

Dmitri Shostakovich wrote his Symphony No. 2 in B major, Op. 14 and subtitled To October, for the 10th anniversary of the October Revolution. It was first performed by the Leningrad Philharmonic Orchestra and the Academy Capella Choir under Nikolai Malko, on 5 November 1927. After the premiere, Shostakovich made some revisions to the score, and this final version was first played in Moscow later in 1927 under the baton of Konstantin Saradzhev. It was also the first time any version of the work had been played in Moscow.
