I love classical music (as well as many other genres).
Some of my all time favorites:
Beethoven- Piano Sonata No.14 in C sharp minor 'Moonlight Sonata' Op. 27/2: Adagio sostenuto
Bach- Prelude for lute in C minor, BWV 999
Joaquin Rodrigo- Concierto de Aranjuez for guitar & orchestra: 2nd movement
Pachelbel- Canon and Gigue for 3 violins & continuo in D major: Canon
Bach- Oboe Concerto in D minor, BWV 1059r
Mozart- Piano Concerto No. 21 in C major 'Elvira Madigan' K. 467: Andante
Beethoven- Symphony No. 7 in A major, Op. 92: Allegretto
Franz Schubert- Quintet for 2 violins, viola & 2 cellos in C major, D. 956, Op. posth. 163: Adagio
Bach- Suite for orchestra No 3 in D major, BWV 1068: Air
Mozart- Clarinet Concerto in A major, K. 622: Adagio
Mozart- Piano Concerto No. 23 in A major, K. 488: 2nd movement
Beethoven- Minuet for piano in G major, Wo0 10/2
Gaetano Donizetti- Andante sostenuto for oboe & harp in F minor
BA- Many more as well, these are what I'm listening to right now.
PS- There's a 10 CD set on the Delta label titled "Meditation: Classical relaxation", that is the best of the best, imo.

Chopin can really mess you up. In a painfully good way, that is.

O Mio Babbino Caro by Puccini is one of my favorite, bubble gummy, tug-at-your-heartstrings pieces of all time. Whenever it's included in a soundtrack I feel like one of Pavlov's stupid dogs. Except instead of salivating my eyes start getting misty.
By the way, we recently checked out Andre Rieu's "Tuscany" DVD from the library. It's beautiful if you like kind of a sugary, greatest hits of classical aimed to please the masses sort of thing. (Which, BTW,when it comes to classical, I'm an airhead and that's what I like)

Open mind, don't be ashamed to like what you like. That's what makes this place beautiful. No one is judging you anymore. What a pleasant change, no?

As a former music major (piano was my major instrument but I dabbled in violin and viola and did play in the college orchestra) I sometimes find myself in the position of preferring to *play* classical rather than listen to it. That is changing over the years. Bach is especially wonderful (Cassals on Bach's unaccompanied Cello Suites is a big favorite).
I adore Debussy but listening is almost frustrating if I can't sit down and play. ;) Musicians are a wierd lot.
