Hi

Does a random collection of pieces count as a compilation??

megaupload(dot)com/?d=2FQZ13YM (can't post links till 15?)

It was made some time back for a friend, but might as well spread it around! Included are:

Joaquín Rodrigo - Fantasia para un gentilhombre (Andres Segovia on guitar/Symphony of the Air (orchestra))
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart - Clarinet Concerto (performed by London Mozart Players)
George Gershwin - "I Got Rhythm" Variations for Piano and Orchestra (Performed by Harmonie Ensemble/New York)
George Gershwin - Rhapsody in Blue (Performed by Leonard Bernstein/Columbia Symphony Orchestra)
Jean Sibelius - En Saga (Performed by Paavo Berglund/Helsinki Philharmonic Orchestra)

I do not know why I chose these composers/works - just random I suppose. There aren't any 19th century compositions. (on purpose, although its my favorite time period!)
All are mp3 (320) rips for convenience sake (tagging classical music seems like a nightmare).
