When I first started producing music I went through a series of stages where I would take classical music and tear it appart re-construct it using synth's and samplers and attempt to get the classical feel to it.
I actualy would map out the placement of each instrument and move it forward or backwards in the stereo field (with delay or reverb).
I have a remix (and also have the rights to release) Adigo For Strings unfortunatly its 214 tracks and whenever I decide to tweak it it takes me a half a year to remember my settings...

I REALLY should mix that down a bit...
