07 What Are Some Good Orchestral, Symphonic, Or Classical Style Ost?

As with any music, the recommendations depend on taste. Some of these original soundtracks are done with real orchestras, others are synthesized orchestras, and the styles vary widely (say, from baroque to modern). In some situations, the types of music are concentrated on specific CDs, so they are identified as such.
