Classical Music in the Bond films ?

Thunderpussy

I was wondering if anyone had a list or knew what Classical music has been used
in the Bond series. like Bach's "Air on the G String" in TSWLM and part of Vivaldi's
"Four seasons" in AVTAK, and I suppose the bit of Puccini's "Tosca" in QOS.
As I was thinking of making a Play list of all the classical music used in the
Bonds.
I'll apologize in advance if this has already been asked. ;%

Tchaikovsky's "Swan Lake" is used as well in AVTAK.

The Cat made a comprehensive list some ? 5 years ago. It should be findable through the search function.

Thanks, Barbel. I'll have a look.

I always loved that part as a kid, though, I don't think I knew what it meant.

Thanks for bringing this up, I never thought about that before. that theme you were mentioning in TSWLM I'm pretty sure was playing in the background of Stromberg's lair.

you only live twice, to me, had a heavily classical sounding score for the theme song, I'll have to watch again, but I'm pretty sure there was some type of navy/military based theme playing when Bond is dropped into the ocean and then picked up by divers after (right after the themesong).

Another one that comes to mind is another military sound salute almost, in Goldfinger, right at the end as Bond is being driven to the plane that Goldfinger ends up being on...Sure, it may not be "classical", but probably a decently significant or reknown score.

All nice pieces, 007yler, and all by John Barry! The military-sounding piece you refer to, "Bond's Funeral", uses the James Bond Theme (played on brass with snares) to create the effect as Bond is buried at sea.
