My apologies for not contributing to the Norwegian music trend, but you have posted precisely what I was going to (Saverund.)

So instead I'll just post Joly Braga Santos' second and third symphonies.

Nothing to apologize for, quite the opposite. Those symphonies are very fine.

Sergei Rachmaninov, Piano Concerto No 2 performed by Lang Lang
One of the pillars of piano concertos.

[Kullervo]

One of the most bombastic and most powerful pieces in the repertoire. Sadly underestimated by many, and very few people keep their ear open for the magnificent 3rd movement.

Shostakovich's 7th symphony, "Leningrad."

It is from an episode of Futurama where Fry basically lives back as if it was in the 20th Century rather than the 30th century, thus since it is old music, it is classified as classical music.
