Turn out the lights - and bring out the GOTH -- with this chilling, intense and totally hypnotic collection taking you deep into the darker realms of the classical world. These masterpieces of the macabre include such brooding classics as Dream of a Witches' Sabbath by Berlioz (from "Symphonie fantastique"); Verdi's haunting choral; Requiem ("Dies irae") ; Rachmaninov's Prelude in C-Sharp Minor ; (heard in an electrifying, hair-raising arrangement for choir, piano and orchestra); Bach's complete ; Toccata and Fugue in D Minor ; (in a spine-tingling, explosive performance on pipe organ) among many other Classical Goth thrillers!
