“Tommy” by the Who is a brilliant work of art by one of the great rock bands ever. It is truly a rock opera & has much orchestration. The original recording isn’t bad & the reissue was cleaned up a bit & overall better sounding. Turn off the lights, turn it up load & enjoy!
”Life’s a Long Song” by the brilliant Ian Anderson of Jethro Tull fame is a beautiful song from their “Living in the Past” in 1971. He has often performed w/ full symphony orchestras many of his classic hits. There’s a great version of him w/ a string quartet, drummer & piano on YouTube.
