Classical music has always been a strong component of movie soundtracks, whether as the main genre for the score or certain pieces that fit in to the relevant scenes. For this selection I have chosen tracks that may not necessarily be well known in terms of classical music, but are dynamic in their composition. I have also kept them at a listenable length and not included anything too dramatic or morose. It's a beautiful set and an enjoyable listen.
