I consider these "must listen"

-Stravinsky - The Rite of Spring
Symphony of Psalms
Agon
-Beethoven - (All Symphonies)
Sonatas (14 and 32 are my favorites)
Egmont Overture
-Chopin - Sonata in Eb major Op. 9 No. 2
-Debussy - En Blanc et Noir
Estampes
Prelude to an Afternoon of a Faun
-Vivaldi - The "Four Seasons" Concertos (I prefer the version for 3 guitars)
-Bach - Orchestral Suite No. 2 in B minor
-Messiaen - Quartet for the End of Time

Those are just some random things, there's a lot missing.

lol I'm liking the Baroque, but this Stravinsky is the best so far. What's else is like Stravinsky, I take he was some radical departure from what was done before him? I like it dark, also the soundtrack from 2001: A Space Odyssey, who did Lux Aeterna?

Aria.

Lux AEterna was Gyorgy Ligeti - a composer well worth investigating.
