I believe the music tracks came from Hans Zimmer's work for the film 'Gladiator'.

Thanks, Moasic. Unfortunately, I don't think the piece I am looking for is from the "Gladiator" soundtrack.

From the film "The Girl with the Pearl Earring" (I think by Alexandre Desplat).

It was used at programme's opening just before "Gladiator".
