Album: Various Artists, Fifty Shades Of Grey: The Classical Album (Capitol)

Personally chosen by author E L James, one supposes this must be Music For Mild Recreational Bondage, an outcome that would probably have shocked Bach while he was writing "Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring", or Thomas Tallis when arranging the 40 voices of the extraordinary "Spem in Alium".

But as a one-stop compilation of popular classical favourites, it's hugely enjoyable, whatever its utility, bringing together Pachelbel's Canon, the opening Aria of Bach's Goldberg Variations, choice examples of Chopin Préludes and Nocturnes, the "In Paradisum" section of Fauré's Requiem, and the "Flower Duet from Delibes' Lakmé. All that's missing, really, is a spot of Satie, and maybe an Adagio from Albinoni or Barber.
