Last thing I listened to would probably have been Chopin's Military Polonaise, I was playing it on the piano last night. As for recordings, the last thing I think I listened to was Prokofiev's Romeo and Juliet Suite 2: Montagues and Capulets, or the piano transcription from Prokofiev's Op 75. I also love Rachmaninoff and listen to his works quite a lot, and I listen to Tchaikovsky quite a bit as well, especially his first two piano concerti and his Concert Fantasia Op 56.

Funny, I've been listening to the third and fourth movements a lot lately. Slowly growing more and more attached to hit.

William Alwyn's Suite of Scottish Dances.
It's pretty much one of the catchiest pieces I've ever heard.

Now listening to Prokofiev's Peter and the Wolf and Britten's Young Person's Guide to the Orchestra. Both are great works of introducing musical instruments to young children.

Francis Poulenc's Wind and Piano Sextet. I must say, it's a true masterpiece. Especially the first movement.

No idea, he was a lecturer at my uni for a year (real shame he left). He was also part of the Macquarie Trio in Australia before it broke up. It was on his resume among other rather significant concerts.
He is American, so I am better it would be an American orchestra. Boston? dunno.
Wiki says Hollywood Studio Symphony Orchestra... which makes sense because they have session musicians.
I'm assuming it was the later movie, because of the session thing, I'm not actually sure which of the three he was in...

Most big top American orchestra don't record movie soundtracks (unless it's only for a separate CD). There are numerous recording orchestras, and I would assume it'd be one of them.
