River of Music: Also sprach Zarathustra

What an opening! Richard Strauss's Also Sprach Zarathustra (Also Spake Zarathustra) was famously used in Stanley Kubrick's 2001 A Space Odyssey - stealing the show and setting the scene for all subsequent space-based film scores.

Richard Strauss, Also sprach Zarathustra: Introduction. Berlin Philharmonic, Karl Bohm (conductor), 1968.
