what is your favourite classical music work?

[Art Rock]

This is of course impossible, but my first reaction was Mahler's Kindertotenlieder.

 

[Kromme]

Two works entered my list of favourite works these days.Brahms' 4th symphony and Coriolan Overture by Beethoven

 

[Krummhorn]

Joseph Jongen - Symphonie Concertante for Organ and Orchestra, Op 81

I heard it live as part of the the Innaugural Organ Concert at the LDS Conference Center (V/131 Schoenstein), Salt Lake City, Utah (US) in June of 2003 with Todd Wilson at the console.
A real time audio/visual recording of this program was made, and has been aired on PBS-NPR several times, to date, a public release of that stellar performance has noy yet been made available.

 

[Art Rock]

Excellent piece of music!

 

[Shearer]

Lately:

Passacaglia and Fugue in C minor (BWV 582), J. S. Bach

 

[mrnickb]

Williams Barber - Adagio For Strings

 

[ErikinWest]

Maybe Dvorák Symphony 9th? Or Hovhaness' 22nd? Tchaikovsky's 4-6th, and Sibelius' 2nd. Some of John Adam's orchestral works. I also enjoy film music from Shostakovitch, Prokofiev, and Jarre. Hard to say, my music preference changes with my mood.

[the maestro]

Beethoven's Egmont overture and his Pastorle symphony are the greatest for me
