One of the better recordings of Rimsky-Korsakoff's Scheherazade. Fritz Reiner and the Chicago Symphony. I just received an SACD of this timeless recording.
Background of what the music is based on..........
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scheherazade
For those who just can't wait for the recognizeable passage/movement, skip to 20:44 on.
I guess most people couldn't listen to the whole thing without pulling their hair out, but everything has its place and the build up is awesome. A story told through music.

Another favourite of mine............ since I'm a Big Band / Jazz lover.
2:59 flutter tonging, airy, devil flautist solo, lol.
