Whats your favourite piece of classical music?

Im listening to mine at the moment, its O Fortuna from Carmina Burana.

I'm not sure; there are too many, but I suspect JS Bach or Chopin wrote it.

At the moment, Thomas Tallis, Spem et Alium.

Listening now to Rachmaninov's 3rd piano concerto.

The second song on the original soundtrack of Superman: the movie.
It's very short, but oh so great.

Then the triumph march of Aida.

Then that chanting song you often here in horror films.

I'm not very good with names. If someone knows the names, please tell, then I can download them.

EDIT: "you often here..."
Deary, deary me....Bowmann will have a field day...

Grande Valse Brilliante - Chopin
1812 Overture - Tchaikovsky

Difficult to choose one, but I think I would go for J.S. Bach's Matthäus-Passion.

I like Bach, Air on a G string.

British Airways.

(Not really, Faure's requiem!)

Water music by Handel

Actually, it might be 'Kyrie' from Mozart's 'Great Mass in C Minor', or Bach's 'Musical Offering', or Chopin's Nocturne in E-flat.

It seems that my preference changes as I change CD's. Now it's Mahlers' fifth for the next hour.
