The soundtrack to the movie 2001 is an interesting mix of old and new :
-some avant-garde compositions by Ligeti
-R.Strauss` most famous waltz; The Blue Danube
-Khachaturian`s beautiful, floating Gayane Suite
-the unforgetable snippet of Also Sprach Zarathustra to open the movie

What does a waltz have to do with the vastness of space ? Watch the movie and those old waltzes will take on a new dimension !
