Love Stavinsky. Agon and Apollo (not the full name) are two of my favorite pieces (partially due to the Balanchine ballets that introduced Stravinsky to me).

I went through a 2+ year phase in which I listened solely to classical music--the only problem is I never learned what anything was actually called. I find myself recognizing a lot of music, but I can never name it. Or it will be from a ballet and I can see the steps or even do the steps but I won't be able to say if it's Giselle or La Bayadere. It's kind of lame.

Philip Glass is amazing.

Everyone at school finds it halarious that i've got Debussy on my phone. But I like classical music a lot.

Beethoven, Mozart, Vivaldi.

Cool

Does anyone love the `Planets Suite` by Gustav Holst ?

Brahms and Wagner would have to be my personal favorite. And I don't know if you'd consider them modern classical but whatever they are, Dead Can Dance is up there in my book as well.

I recently discovered the beauty of "Requiem" by Mozart.

Even better was "Prelude in E Minor" by Chopin
or perhaps "Moonlight Sonata" by Beethoven.

Any type of Gregorian chant makes me giddy. I'm also a fan of a lot of Baroque-era music.

A promotional video for PaGAGnini, a marvelous string quartet and one of my favorite groups. Classical music with a delightfully comic twist. It also bears mentioning that its members all resemble escapees from a Clint Eastwood Spaghetti Western. Brilliant!

Beethoven is my all time favorite composer. I'm also quite a Bach fan.

I listen to classical music 6 nights out of the week-I love novels set in the 16, 18, & 19th centuries & the music is great for adding atmosphere to the stories. It also helps mellow me out a bit before bed. There's a reason it's been around for so long...it's neat to listen to!

Greig, Beethoven, Tchaikovsky, Mozart.
Swan Lake is perhaps THE most beautiful thing... I have EVER heard.
<3 Bach--so sinister! I find it on many, many dollar-store Halloween mixtapes...
They don't do him credit. *slight_frown*
I used to listen to TONS of it, but I never paid attention to the composers. I think I'm fondest of Baroque, though....

OH! and Wagner!!
