pachalbel's cannon

Thats my favorite classical piece.

I always despised Canon, I guess it's because of the overuse.

Mozart played by Arturo Benedetti Michelangeli.

Arturo Benedetti Michelangeli was famous for the almost maniacal degree of perfection he required of his instrument during a concert. His Steinway piano preceded him everywhere he went, so it could get acclimatized, by truck, by airplane, covered by material or wool, and his favourite tuner, Cesare Augusto Tallone, followed him for years too. Once, in Japan, he cancelled a concert for which he had already been engaged, because his piano had suffered too much from the long trip to that country. The Japanese reacted in a sharp way, sequestrating his passport for a while, and fining him a considerable amount. Arturo Benedetti Michelangeli took offense, and did not hold concerts in Japan any more.

Tchaikovsky is my favourite of the seriously classical composers. :)

To go a bit more modern (60's) would be Ennio Morricone - he's written some beautiful pieces. Metallica actually used one of his songs "The Ecstasy of Gold" as the opening to some of their concerts (including the S&M one). I got into him after I heard his work on The Good, The Bad and The Ugly.
