Best version of the La Brabanconne (Belgian anthem) I've heard, with wonderful illustrations. This is one of the world's great anthems, in case you never heard it. I think the pace here could be a bit faster, but it is still very good.

All of the gigantic Soviet "War and Peace", 1968, up to the end of the Battle of Borodino. Spectacular throughout, from the scenes before Austerlitz right through to the Great Redoubt.

The great Jeanette McDonald singing "Le Regiment de Sambre et Meuse" to Napoleon III. (From "Maytime"). Glorious. Go to the 4:20 mark in the video. I have been looking for this piece for ages.

For those who do not know it, "Le Regiment" and "Chant du Depart" are second and third behind only "La Marseillaise".
