What's your favourite piece of classical music? Post here, and link if you want.

Some of my favourites are Wagner's 'Ride of the Valkyries' and Liszt's 'Hungarian Rhapsody No.2'.

Have fun!

Holst's Planets Suite and Philip Glass' Akhnaten, although since it's an opera I'm not sure whether it would count.

Chopin's Nocturne in B major - Allegretto, Gould's Goldberg Variations and György Ligeti's The Ligeti Project II.

Beethoven's Ninth Symphony. Because I am a bit of a poseur.

So you were on-topic but incomprehensible. My bad.

On the other hand, now that you've provided a link, this shit is awesome, flagmyidol.

Isn't it? And, sorry, Tanner, I thought that everyone had heard of Holst's Planets. Good, good shit.

Threnody for the Victims of Hiroshima is quite nice. I'm not really as versed in classical as I'd like to be, though.

I take it from all of the responses that "Classical" means "something non-pop", in which case you guys already know from my ramblings. But most things by Beethoven, Mozart, Tchaikovsky, Saint-Saens, Vivaldi, Bach, other-Bach, Grieg, Mahler....
