Thank you. Some great works in there as well as some which I must listen to. Many omissions, in my view. I would suggest Turangalila (Messiaen), Hymn to St Cecilia (Britten), Prélude a l'apres-midi d'un faune (Debussy), Rhapsody on a theme of Paganini (Rachmaninov), Cantus in Memoriam Benjamin Britten (Arvo Paart) and Carmina Burana (Orff)

Turangalila is in part #1, as well as Britten with "War Requiem".

I'm thinking of a part #3 in which i will include Pärt (although I'm not very fond of Minimalism), Rachmaninov and many others
