Symphony no. 5 in e minor, op 64: Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky - Polish National Radio Symphony Orchestra - Antoni Wit
Symphony no. 6 in D Major op. 60: Antonin Dvorak - Slovak Philharmonic Orchestra - Stephen Gunzenhauser
Symphony no. 3 in a minor (unfinished): Alexander Porfir'yevich Borodin - Slovak Radio Symphony Orchestra - Stephen Gunzenhauser
Symphony no. 3 in c minor "Organ": Camille Saint-Saens - Slovak Radio Symphony Orchestra - Imrich Szabo

Five Hours Plus of Great Symphonic works all for free! All done in 256kbps. Mp3
Stereo Sound. All perfectly good performances from the Naxos Label. These are not merely samples from the works, they are complete performances of them. As they say free is good! These performances are good too!
Now how about a Volume 2??

Regarding the missing composers: The composer of each work is clearly recorded in the "Composer" ID3 tag, just where it belongs. Amazon is tagging them correctly, though with classical that can be a little confusing.

Wonderful selection of fine music, peaceful and calming, restful and lovely. A beautiful gift from Amazon.
If you're using iTunes and would like to add the composer's name to the title of each selection:
Download music from Amazon
Open iTunes on your computer
Under Playlists, open your "Classical Music" folder
Under "Composers" on the left, click the name of one of the composers of this collection
(Brahms, Mahler, Tchaikovsky, Dvorak, Borodin, Saint-Saens, Bruckner)
Under "Names" to the right, highlight one selection
right-click the selection
select "Get Info" and left-click on it
choose the "Sorting" tab
In the "Name" box, type your preferred name for the selection
(I simply added the name of the composer before the name supplied)
Click 'OK'
Repeat for each selection by that composer
Move to the next composer and repeat the steps above
When each selection plays, you will see the name of the composer and the name of the piece (or whatever you chose to call it) on your iPod, iPhone, or computer.
Amazing value! December 20, 2009

Thanks to Amazon and Naxos for this great gift. All this incredible music for free! I wish more young people would listen to Classical music; it's becoming an endangered species.
