This is by far my favorite.

Adagio for String - Barber

I don't generally listen to one piece when I listen to classical. Mostly I grab a composer instead. I enjoy: Beethoven, Rochmaninof (can't spell), and Chopin.

 

[Mayhem1869]

Ein kleine nachtmusik

 

[Mday]

of the complete symphonies i enjoy:

nutcracker suite (technically not a sym)
1812 overture...

the emphasis is on COMPLETE!!!

if i had to choose a period, it'd be romantic, followed VERY closely by baroque...

i also enjoy the brandenburg concertoes =)

 

[kami]

Bach - Suite #3 in D Major (specifically the Air part)
Randy Edelman - Dragonheart Finale (everyone download this now)

 

[Farbio]

i highly enjoy most everything that has been listed up to now, but i must add some:
shostakovich symphony #5 (a great complete symphony)
beethoven egmont overture
rachmaninoff vespers

 

[hpkeeper]

I enjoy it the most when it's not playing.
