What are some of your favorite tracks that are well recorded and fully orchesteated? Looking for tracks that really capture the feel of being in the concert hall. Symphonies, movie soundtrack, concierto, quartets, etc
look up Ludovigo Enaudi. I was listening to the St Albert live in Spotify and then a friend send me their FLAC copy of the same. so much better! I actually could hear Ludovigo humming / talking to himself while playing the piano, which I didn’t get on the Spotify stream. very cool

The London Philharmonic Orchestra recorded a bunch of video game soundtracks.
CD 1 CD 2
“Master and Commander” has a very nice soundtrack, probably my favourite movie soundtrack in existance (yes, even better than Gladiator)
On the piano front:
- Keith Jarret
- Ludovicio Einaudi (the “Seven Days Walking” - series is amazing!)
- Yiruma

How 'bout some albums as opposed to tracks? Here are some HDTracks or Amazon links to some of my favorite classical recordings:
Eric Kunzel & Cincinnati Pops - Tchaikovsky 1812 Overture

Some say it’s bass heavy. I disagree. It’s a celebration piece and I think it rumbles appropriately.
Herbert Von Karajan - Mussorgsky Pictures at an Exhibition

Herbert Von Karajan - Dvorak 9th Symphony

Berlin Philharmonic - Beethoven Symphonies 1-9

And if you like pipe organ (and who doesn’t?)…
Peter Hurford - Bach Organ Works
I think I’ve seen all of these on the various streaming platforms, too.
Enjoy!
