Original Motion picture sound tracks (OST) are often fine pieces of music building up a geat athmosphere. Its the perfect music for learning and studying. Today some advertised soundtracks are closer to a pop album rather than mirroring a storyline of a motion picture. I do prefer those that are somewhat orchestral pieces.
Here is a list of some titles from the my collection sorted by composer. It is quite interesting to have a look at the different works from a single composer. Please feel free to drop me a line if you have additional recommendations.
