1969 album Cantiga de Longe.

Free - Highway
The title track of a very underrated album IMO;

More King Crimson - the Lizard suite (Prince Rupert Awakes/Bolero/The Battle of Glass Tears/Big Top).

Crimson are probably better known now for their heavier, more discordant stuff but they were capable of some pretty tunes as well and there are several on this track.

Something a bit different; Gorecki Symphony No 3, with the Polish National Radio Symphony Orchestra and (interestingly) Beth Gibbons from Portishead as the soprano. Must admit I was sceptical at first but she does a pretty decent job.

I'm listening to the all-Polish version now (Zofia Kilanowicz as soprano), and I think I prefer it;

It's a great piece of music IMO but it's definitely one that divides opinion; it's not one you play at a party (unless you want the guests to go home). For me, I think I've got to be in the right mood to listen to it.

Gorecki No 1. Not for me really;

In addition then, the deeply wonderful Andante from Brahms's Concerto No 2;

Not even going to try to pick a track from it, it's all great. Ramos Mares Fernando lists the timestamps for all the tracks, about three lines down from the comments;

This very version was played by Swedish radio quite regularly when the recording was new. Symphony No. 4 is very different. Rhythmical, edgy, noisy

Arvo Pärt - Salve Regina;
I am OK with anything Pärt :-)
Great choir. Another great choir from that side of the Baltic is the choir of the Latvian Radio. I have heard them live in Stockholm several times. My current favorite CD with them, despite sub standard sound quality, is called On Photography.
If you like this you may also like music by Ukrainian composer Valentin Silverstrov.

Thanks for replying Martin. If you like Arvo Pärt, here's a work by a similar composer, Joep Franssens's "Harmony Of The Spheres;"

I'll have a look at Silverstrov later.

There is more to Pärt than etheric choir music. Tabula Rasa, Fratres and his 3:rd symphony come to mind.

Yes, I've got a collection of his work somewhere on a couple of CDs. "Spiegel Im Spiegel" gets a lot of airplay on classical radio stations here.

Led Zeppelin - That's The Way. Pretty sure I've posted it here before but it's a great track;

Harry Nilsson - can't spell it without looking it up but it's his (IMO underrated) 1977 album;
