Classical music, anyone?

In my continued attempts to pretend I'm cultured, I'm asking for everyone's favorite orchestral compositions. I don't care if it's cliche' (Pachelbel's Canon anyone?), classical or contemporary, or obscure as all get out. I'm looking to expand my tastes so let 'er rip. I'll start off with "O Fortuna" from Carmina Burana by Carl Orff.

Bach's Brandenburg Concertos, especially #5
I actually don't listen to classical often, but I've got some and listen to it occasionally. I found in college that classical helped me study, while contemporary music distracted me.
Also try Dvorak's 9th Symphony "The New World"

Anything composed by John Williams, if that counts.
If it counts, Patrick Doyle's St. Crispin's Day - The Battle Of Agincourt from the Henry V soundtrack.

Enigma variations - Elgar
Swan Lake - Tchaikovsky
Symphony 9 (New World ) - Dvorak
'Morning ' from Peer Gynt - Greig
Nights in White Satin - Moody Blues/ London Symphony Orchestra
There are many more - we hear snippets from TV commercials all the time but dont bother to find out what the music is or who wrote it.
