"Also sprach Zarathustra" by Richard Strauss

I love love love Moonlight Sonata Movements 1 and 3

Beethoven - Moonlight Sonata 3rd mov. Presto Agitato (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=acUWIzyKUY0#normal)

And despite its popularity, I still love Pachelbel's Canon in D.

Samuel Barber's "Adagio for Strings" makes me want to cry every time I hear it.  I'm a big fan of Russian classical music, like Tchaikovsky...  Lots of grand, minor key shtuff.

Adagio for Strings was voted the saddest piece of music every written, iirc.

it is quite tear worthy.

I'm a big Paganini fan.. also Vivaldi.. pretty much any renaissance style music with violins in it  :lol: I actually played violin, but I couldn't combine it with my guitar stuff.. got massive cramps every time I switched instruments.

I love stuff like this;

Yngwie Malmsteen - Cavallino Rampante (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fn6-XqmkKUA&feature=related#normal)

And this is probably my favorite piece, even in this form:

Vanessa Mae Toccata and Fugue (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VexO1L0_d2U#normal)

I only just recently discovered Suzumiya Haruhi no Gensou, which basically has the Tokyo Philharmonic playing Haruhi songs. It's awesome. It also had this, which is probably my favourite classical piece.
