Recommended Classical CD

P.I. Tchaikovsky- "Capriccio Italien".
Hector Berlioz- "Simphonie Funebre et Triomphale".
Aaron Copland- "Fanfare For the Common Man".
Not classical: Patricia Barber- Cafe Blue, 'Mourning Grace'.

Maybe Tutti!, the Reference Recordings CD (#RR-906CD) would be a good one to try. I have it, and there are a decent number of cymbals involved. It's also HDCD, if your CD player can decode it.

Borodin - Polovtsian Dances, from Prince Igor

Rimsky Korsakov - Capriccio Espagnol, Scheherazade shipwreck scence

Tchaikovsky - Capricio Italien (mentioned above), closing of Trepak movement (Russian dance) from Nutcracker

Mussorgsky - Gates of Kiev, final movement from Pictures at an Exhibition

I see a pattern here.....Russian music!
