Searching for classical music behind Trance tracks
Many trance tracks like "Gouryella-Ligaya", "William Orbit-Adagio for Strings" or "Rollerball-Alibinoni" are based on classical music and I really like classical music - but often I don't know the composer and the title of the original classical track, for example "Ligaya".
Would be nice, when some of u could list up some really nice and melodic classical tracks and the trance remakes of them.
My favorite composers are on William Orbit's CD "Pieces in a Modern Style":
1. Adagio for strings (Samuel Barber)
2. In a landscape (John Cage)
3. Ogive Number 1 (Erik Satie)
4. Cavalleria Rusticana (Pietro Mascagri)
5. Pavane pour une infante defunte (Maurice Ravel)
6. L'Inverno (Antonio Vivaldi)
7. Triple Concerto (Ludwig Van Beethoven)
8. Xerxes (George Frideric Handel)
9. Piece in the old style 1 (Henryk Gorecki)
10. Piece in the old style 3 (Henryk Gorecki)
11. Opus 132 (Ludwig Van Beethoven)

Aria - Dido (AvB's Universal Religion Mix) -- based on Henry Purcell's opera Dido and Aeneas.
Aria - Willow (DJ Tiesto's Magikal Remake) -- based on Giuseppe Verdi's Otello.
And BLuEOcEaN420, Souvenir De Chine is derived from the Jean Michel Jarre production "Souvenir Of China" which I don't think had any classical influence? I'm not sure though.

Nope, no classical influence there. I've heard JMJ's original Souvenir Of China and the only part that Fire & Ice borrowed is the ambient parts you hear at the breakdown of Souvenir De Chine, before and during the breakbeats.

I dont really know much about him either but I think he might be an old school electronica producer.

Thats probably cause the main melody in Fire & Ice's Souvenir sounds like the main melody in Ferry's remix of Adagio
And back on topic.. some others I can think of:
Hybrid - Finished Symphony
Rank 1 - Symsonic
Rank 1 - Such Is Life
But I think the classical parts of the above songs are made by Hybrid and Rank 1 themselves.

From Chilled Out Euphoria mixed by Solar Stone, does anyone know if the piano part in 2nd Element - Underwaterfall is a original piece by 2nd Element or a classical piece?
