Something contemporary (1994) from Nicholas Lens wonderful album, Flamma Flamma : The Fire Requiem. Unfortunately the album's not available on Youtube.
Mozart’s clarinet concerto in A major, K622, played by the superb clarinetist Martin Fröst. I’m linking to the second movement (Adagio) which is meltingly beautiful, but I’ll put the link to the entire concerto as well.
La paon, by Ravel, sung by the great Gabriel Bacquier. His voice gives all of the absurdity, glory and arrogance of the peacock; I can see its haughty sharp face and its vibrantly showoffy widespread tail.
