Can anyone identify the song between 2:22 and 3:00 minutes into the film, it might have been Mrs Richie's favourite tune but what is it? Unfortunately the presenter doesn't tell us.
Tchaikovsky's Symphony No. 6 in B minor, Op. 74, "Pathétique" is one of my favourites. Not what you'd call 'light' though
It's on a grand scale and hugely emotional.
Erbarme Dich from the St. Matthew Passion
Prelude to Act III of Tristan Und Isolde (and the Liebstod)
The adagio of Beethoven's 15th String Quartet
The opening movement of Bruckner's 4th symphony (And all of his 7th, 8th and 9th symphonies)
Sibelius's 7th Symphony
Janacek's 2nd String Quartet
Winterreise by Franz Schubert (And his String quintet)
First movement of Beethoven's 6th (And all of the 3rd, 5th, 7th and 9th of course)
Chopin Etude Op. 10 No. 3
Elgar's Cello concerto
The Tallis Fantasia
The scherzo from Dvorak's 9th
Dies Irae of Verdi's Requiem
Stravinsky's Symphony Of Psalms
Have recently acquired Ian Bostridge singing "The English Songbook"...

An excellent selection. I found the Litolff: "Scherzo" in the opening credits to the 1963 film "Billy Liar".

Pure Bliss

Niice selection.
Especially Tchaikovsky ‘The Nutcracker’
I knew all along that it was 'The Something Chorus', and thought the singer was either Kathleen Ferrier or Joan Sutherland
After extensive searching on the interweb yesterday through (mainly) the works of Verdi and Rossini, I gave up and decided to 'sleep on it'.
I woke knowing not only the work but also the singer who is of course Gracie Fields.
Her version (as in Billy Liar) is amongst the 50 or so on iTunes - search "Gracie Fields Nuns Chorus" into YT for a different version.
Music for 18 Musicians - Steve Reich
Gassenhauer - Carl Orff
18th Variation - Rachmaninov
I never get tired of these.
