Licensing classical music

[eco_bach]

I've purchased a track off a classical compilation from iTunes. I'd like to use this track in a streaming video pro bono short, but it may be used elsewhere .

Under what circumstances would I be obligated to acquire additional licensing?

Is there such a thing as totally open source classical music not requiring any license, even for commercial work?

I would say you probably just purchased a file for your personal pleasure. The classical composition may be in public domain, but the specific performance is most likely under a copyright protection therefore you would not be able to legally use it without getting rights from the performer.

Thanks
What about FreeplayMusic.com (http://freeplaymusic.com/)? Have you used them before?
