I only have one cd, Samuel Barber - Adagio for strings is on it. The rest of the pieces are just opera and I can't stand it :)
Adagio for strings is the piece at the end of Platoon. It was also released by William Orbit as a very good remix.

Barbers Adagio for strings is good and I like Orbits 'remix' too.
My favourite classical music (get them from audiogalaxy):
Sergei Prokofiev - Romeo And Juliet (Montagues And Chapulets)
Modest Mussorgsky - Night on bald mountain
Modest Mussorgsky - Baba Yaga (From Pictures at an exhibition)
Carl Orff - Carmina Burana
Ruyichi Sakamoto - Energy Flow (more like contemporary I guess)
Ravel - Bolero
classical music is so underrated :)

Michael Nyman's soundtrack for 'the piano' is very beautiful!!!
Beautiful movie as well!

i have been an appreciator of classical music since i took up the piano at the age of 13 or so - i have most of beethoven's piano sonatas, a lot of chopin waltzes/preludes/nocturnes/etudes/mazurkas, as well as quite a few bach preludes/inventions/suites for my piano.
those three are my major icons in the classical world, although i do love the symphonies of brahms, the piano concertos by rachmaninov and grieg, and a lot of medieval shit.

The thing about the early classical pieces is that to me they sound like music theory. You know, like someone just invented the piano and played scales up and down.
Oh yeah, I have Phillip Glass' Metamorphosis, if that counts as classical. It's great, so monotonous and beautiful.

I haven't got Metamorphosis, but I've got Metamorphamix (Aphex Twin remix).. mentioned it here couple of weeks ago.
Anybody got hold of this? Must be a hoax, but it's quite good.

Most CDs in my collection contain classical music. I started with Beethoven's symphonies 3, 5, 6, 7 and 9, these were the first to get me interested in that type of music.

beethoven's 6th is really under-rated, overshadowed as it is by the 5th and the 9th.
PACO - i think you are referring to baroque music, which placed the emphasis on Intellectuality - what makes bach so supreme is the combination of mind and heart so to speak
