To go further off-topic ... I do enjoy watching professionally made videos of orchestras performing classical music on tv with the Sonos and its sub.
I will recommend to both of you (@Mike Lavigne and @Ron Resnick ) a Blu-ray disc of John Williams with the Berlin Philharmonic playing his own music. A good chunk of it is Star Wars soundtrack music (neo-Wagner-lite) and Indiana Jones. I suggest it not for the music or as a listening experience per se (although it is enjoyable) but for its educational and appreciation value for learning about an orchestra, how a conductor controls the orchestra and for seeing/hearing up-close individual musicians and sections of musicians play their instruments.
