"Your favourite classical piece"

I'm not into classical music in a big way, but there are a few pieces I love (and I use to test out my system with new speakers etc.).

A few bits I like:

Barber's Adagio for strings

Faure (sp?) - Pavane

Andrea Bocelli - Con Te Partiro (amazing vocals, and reminds me of Sopranos)

Duetto Sul'Aria from Marriage of Figaro (thanks tnc and Timmargh)

and some other stuff I can't really think of now at work.

Anyone have any other recommendations? Don't be shy, they can be from adverts and films too :)

I can play that on any instrument.

I don't think I want to hear it ...

The funk version by Deodato has also got to be heard to be believed.

John Cage's 4'33"

Gosh, I'm so funny.

Also Sprach Zarathrustra by Richard Strauss (you probably know it as the music from 2001)

You, good sir, are teh roxx0rz, as they say. :D

Wagner - ride of the valkyries
Beethoven - Symphony no.6 - the pastoral symphony
vivaldi - the 4 seasons (particularly the "spring" movement)

Always loved Tchaikovsky's 1812 Overture.

Parents took me to a Royal Tournament as a kid. The band played, the horses raced, and the cannons fired... left a hell of a lasting impression.
