You expressed an interest in classical guitar...have you heard Rodrigo's Concierto de Aranjuez (it's a concerto for acoustic guitar and orchestra)? The second movement is famous, I think most people would recognize it, even if they didn't know it as such.
Kal_S recommends a recording of this piece in the 'best recording on your system' thread

Give it a try - I bet you will really enjoy it.
Hola Sky Saw. Yes, the "Concierto de Aranjuez" it´s a master piece. There are many recordings with great guitar players like John Williams, Narciso Yepes, Jullian Bream, Paco de Lucía, Manuel Barrueco, Luis García Navarro, Siegfried Behrend, Chirstopher Parkening, Ernesto Bitetti, etc. But my favorite is Pepe Romero-guitar, St Martin in the Fields-orchestra. This recording is unique to my ears, the work and comunication with the strings and the way that the director follows the guitar is remarkable. Also, the recording is very good. As all of you know, I studied for 14 years classical guitar until I had a severe back accident at home, and I can´t play anymore. Of course, once in while I play some easy works like La Romanza, Recuerdos de la Alhambra, Capricho Arabe...imho, Pepe has a great sound and the way that he feels specailly the second movement, to my liking, it is one of the best. Try it also, you won´t be dissapointed. One thing that I like of classical music is to have on hand such great players, and we can listen how different each player feels the music and the way to perform the work. ML show us this without any effort. This is why I´m so crazy about ML...thanks for your suggestion Sky Say, happy listening,
Pura vida,
Roberto.
