 Classical Music

Sometimes, the classics are what's up.
Who is your favorite classical composer and what works of him/her do you like the most?
Currently listening to Moonlight Sonata by Beethoven. Very deep and thought-provoking.

Check out Debussy I haven't heard anything by him that I don't like, but I have to be in the right mood to listen to it, I save it for special occasions because his music is special.

Ennio is an Italian composer- has written for a lot of old western movies etc. he still lives to this day. He also did Rabbia E Terentilla for Tarantino's Inglorious Basterds
His music encourages me as a painter, photographer when I listen to his music in the background.

Nocturnes are nice. Whoever is doing them.
Field is a good composer of nocturnes. Or so I'm told. 
I like it.
Andrzej Panufnik's Nocturne. Weird. Spooky. Mostly silent.
There's tons of modern classical stuff that's amazing.
Arvo Part is disturbing, dark, sad, glorious, etc.
Giacinto Scelsi, György Ligeti, Henryk Górecki, Harry Partch,
Krzysztof Penderecki, Dmitri Shostakovich, Alan Hovhaness, Jóhann
Jóhannsson, Edgard Varèse, Erik Satie, Felix Mendelssohn, Karlheinz
Stockhausen (weird shit), François Bayle (weirder shit), Iannis
Xenakis (if you call his stuff classical...or even 'music', I like it though),
Alvin Lucier...
Etc.
The ones everyone's heard of. Tchaikovsky's 1812 thing. On acid? = AMAZING.
Marche Slave. Etc. Bombastic Romantic Stuff.
Fucking Bach! All of that family. Brahms.
Harpischord, Clavichord, Organ stuff. Classical guitar! Paganini (as someone mentioned),
Lutes madrigals and early music, Musica Antiqua, Egyptian and Greek music of antiquity:
And tons more I'm sure.
I may look in my archives and post more.
You could spend a lifetime delving into the works of those above and
letting the music saturate your being and soak into your bones. You
could also spend a lifetime with just Mozart and Beethoven. Getting to
know, not just a name to drop, but every note of even one concerto.
Intimately. Letting it really effect you.
And those are 'western' musicians. Toru Takemitsu is where most people start from Eastern Classical music. You could do worse.
Indian classical is a whole nuther world.
???
Hariprasad Chaurasia (The Master!)
"La Monte Young, Philip Glass, Terry Riley, Steve Reich, and John Adams"...the whole minimal thing. Everything on the Hearts of Space radio program.
And on and on and on...
There was some 'Ghost' Symphony (or something similarly named) by Beethoven...(or was it Mozart?) Supposed to be some bad ass shit.
Anybody remember that? I once knew ...but have since forgotten.
:(

Nice additions guys. I am really diggin all of these posts.
Listening to Beethoven's 9th Symphony now. The entire piece is absolutely wonderful. It is almost like classical music is on a higher level than regular music

Johan Sebastian Bach cello suite number 6 in D Major, prelude
I have been obsessed with this piece for some time now. Bach composed certain parts to seemingly create an echo effect. Depending on how well the player is you can get the full effect of it.

Nice Thread.
I really liked Ennio's score for Days of Heaven. I've been told that his score for The Legend of 1900 is very fine as well.
Two composers that I've been listening to a lit lately are Peteris Vasks and Hector Berlioz.

Bruckner!
Especially Symphony #4. Brucker's music is absolutely gigantic sounding.

Only in the past few months have I been earnestly listening to classical, though many years ago I did grab a 'Best of' Bach album but really did not know what I was listening to back then (though I do not mean to imply I understand it now). As of late I've been into Paganini, Mozart and Bach.
I've been listening to a lot of this today. I read a comment somewhere that none of the passages are the same throughout, though I do not know if that is true. In any case, it made me think that this particular piece of classical music, because of the diversity and novelty of the melodies, is not instantaneously enjoyable to its full potential because it would take the brain, or at least mine, several listens to fully comprehend what is going on and what the composer was trying to say and accomplish.
The same piece, though only the first half, played live:
