Earlier, it was Brahms' Symphony No. 2 and his Serenade No. 2, again performed by Kertész & the VPO:

@Referentzhunter, just to confirm: mister goatman refers to W.A. Mozart, correct?

 

Thanks for your honest comments. I certainly going to listen to the symphony you advised me to listen to.

'Goatman' is a character from a Folklore-story from England (some say United States wich is incorrect i believe, not sure) and refers to the Devil himself. An unexpected guest appears at a desolate old building. Someone drops something, tries to grap it from the ground under the table and sees the guest has no feed but hooves. I believe bad things happen afterwards. 

The story escalated to all sorts of substories.
