    Has to have something to with film, since they're more or less all famous from that medium. Mozart's piece is the oldest, and it is a vocal piece unlike the rest. But that can't be it?

    The more I've pondered this the answer about the RVW work is correct. None of the others were written for the film specifically. Elephant Man and Platoon=Adagio. Mozart=Shawshank. Bolero=10. Strauss=2001. Gershwin=Manhattan. Wagner=several including Apocalyse Now. Rachmaninoff=several including Spiderman 2.
    listen to more classical music!

    Well done Tom, You nailed it right from the start, Vaughan Williams 'Antartica' was specifically written for the film SCOTT OF THE ANTARCTIC, all the other pieces became more popular due to their use in popular films.

    strauss - 2001
    Ravel - "10"
    Barber - Platoon
    Rachmaninov - Brief Encounter
    Mozart - Shawshank Redemption
    Gershwin - Manhatten

    Nice question, sadly i missed it! To anyone NOT familiar with these works, i URGE YOU URGENTLY (!) to go listen! Top pieces of all times, in their genres and styles. I really like this ones the most:

    Sprach Zarathustra - Richard Strauss

    Die Valkyrie - Richard Wagner

    Adagio For Strings - Samuel Barber

    Rhapsody In Blue - George Gershwin

    And Bolero - Maurice Ravel is quite nice too, when i am in the mood smile
    Love Maintitles. It's full of Wanders.

    I would take Ravel over ALL those others though Bolero isn't a piece I play that often.

    And leaving out RACHMANINOV!!!?????? eh? shocked rolleyes

    and i can't even bring myself to mention the fact you left off RVW....blasphemy

    Well, bolero is not something i listen to very often. But it's quite a good piece. As for Rachmaninov, piano concerti usually put me to sleep. I like STRINGS; and ORCHESTRA on the foreground smile
    Love Maintitles. It's full of Wanders.

    Played Bolero in college and got rather sick of it after a time.

    I've seen Bolero performed at concerts a few times and have to admire the amount of collective musical concentration it takes to do it well. I enjoy watching the poor snare drum soloists sweat buckets while focusing on keeping a steady pace for 15 minutes straight!

    Time for a new one into the new year.......


    The LONDON SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA was due to sail on R.M.S. TITANIC to New York in 1912 to play a concert. Fortunately they had to cancel and so never set sail on the ill-fated ship.



    TRUE or FALSE ?

    Sounds unlikely, but why not? I assume there are other "almost passenger" celebrities out there, so why not the entire LSO? The only musicians I'm aware of on the Titanic were the ship musicians (a quintet, I think) that famously played "Closer to Thee, My God" as they were going under.

    So TRUE.
    I am extremely serious.

    It's.....


    TRUE!



    From 1911 - 1912 the LSO's conducter was none other than EDWARD ELGAR, though I couldn't find any information to indicate whether he was due to sail with the LSO that April in 1912 or if, indeed, he was still principal conducter by then!?
