This Mixcloud should provide you with examples of all of the classical forms: art song (Arthur Sullivan's "The Lost Chord"), cantata (Bach's "Jesus, Joy of Man's Desiring"), oratorio (Handel's "Hallelujah Chorus"), concerto (Bach's "Brandenburg Concerto No. 2 in F, I. Allegro"), symphony (Arvo Part's "Symphony No. 3: First Movement"), fugue (Bach's "Contrapunctus I"), plus an orchestral suite (the awesome "Mars, the Bringer of War" from Holst's The Planets). The only one left out is mass.
Tracklist
Playing tracks by Gilbert & Sullivan, Orpheus Chamber Orchestra, Handel And Haydn Society Orchestra, Handel And Haydn Society Chorus & Harry Christophers, Henryk Szeryng, Sir Neville Marriner, Academy of St. Martin in the Fields, Michala Petri, Heinz Holliger & André Bernard, Takuo Yuasa & Ulster Orchestra and more.
