Ahh, Prokofiev!
Like those above who mentioned liking Sergei Prokofiev's music for the ballet "Romeo and Juliet," I am extremely fond of it. I especially like his "Dance of the Knights," which starts with such drama and power, lingers tenderly on a central, delicate section, and then after some turbulence, a struggle between hope and destruction, returns to decimating power at the end. Terrific! And under six minutes!
Interestingly, I was first introduced to Prokofiev due a car commercial around twenty years ago. The commercial played "Dance of the Knights" as some sleek car drove between giant, ominous, swinging metal spheres. I didn't care for the car...but that MUSIC! I was in awe.
I've searched for that commercial online without success...so you'll have to settle for the London Symphony performing the piece sans cars and mammoth pendula:

^ I know Zaqarbal likes this piece, too. I remember.
Now, in case you have two-and-a-half hours to spare and weren't satisfied by those six minutes of music splendor, you can also watch...THE WHOLE BALLET FOR FREEEEEE!!! ! ! ! (This is where you dissolve into tears of joy.)
So wipe your eyes, pop some popcorn, turn off the lights, enlarge the YouTube screen, and sit back and enjoy...
