Here's one I found recently:

It's Stravinsky conducting part of his Firebird suite at age 82 in 1965. If those chords at the end don't do something for ya - you're not alive!
Oh, BTW the piece in Platoon you're probably referring to is Adagio for Strings by Barber. |
Nice piece of Stravinsky.
Yeh that theme music isnt available as an orchestra score. It would ve blown some serious shit out of the water if it was.
And ditto about Adagio for Strings. I keep forgetting the name. Wonderful stuff...really touches me deeply.
And for all the lovers of vintage music and 80s cinema, I have a real surprise rock and roll treat for you :-
Tell me if this doesnt turn you into a sexual tyrannosaurus. :D
Enjoy. ;)
