I couldn't honestly narrow it down to 10 definitive favourites of all time but I'll give it a hypothetical go: 1 - Antonin Dvorak - Symphony No.9 'from the New World' (all four movements as they are all magnificent). 2 - Franz Schmidt - Intermezzo from the opera 'Notre Dame' 3 - Samuel Barber - Adagio for Strings 4 - Richard Wagner - Prelude and Liebestod from the opera 'Tristan und Isolde' 5 - Sergei Rachmaninov - Isle of the Dead(symphonic tone poem) 6 - Ludwig Van Beethoven - Piano Sonata No.30(3rd movement andante) 7 - Gustav Mahler - Symphony No.9(final adagio movement) 8 - Frederic Chopin - Ballade No.4 9 - Ralph Vaughan Williams - Fantasia on a Theme of Thomas Tallis 10 - Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky - Andante Cantabile from 1st String Quartet

I'd have to say all of these five:
Vivaldi's Gloria
Bach's Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring
Bach's Ciaccona from Partita no. 2 in D Minor
Tchaikovsky's Serenade for Strings
Pachelbel's Canon in D
I've been lucky enough to perform all of these in the last few years. Some of these (Gloria, Canon, Jesu) were pieces I loved as a child, pieces whose intricate and haunting beauty were part of the reason I started the violin; the other two (Ciaccona, Serenade) were pieces I absolutely hated when I began working on them, but somehow managed to pull all the right heartstrings when put together. The Serenade also has a bit of nationalistic sentimental value--half my family is Russian, and it's my grandfather's favorite piece.

1. Meditation by Massenet (personal reason).
2. Humoresque by Dvorak, especially when it's a cello and violin duet like Yo-Yo Ma and Itzach Perlman did.
3. I'm not really sure if this is considered classical, but the theme from the movie "Schindler's List" by John Williams is an absolutely gorgeous piece.
4. And The Pearl Fishers: Romance by George Bizet.

I love (LOVE) the Great Gate of Kiev from pictures at an exhibition by Mussourgsky, transcribed from the piano to and orchestral score by Ravel. What makes it feel so beautiful, is it is such a relief to hear after the Hut of Baba Yaga, which is the movement directly before it. Baba Yaga is supremely evil sounding, and The Great Gate is very consonant, with two contrasting sections ( a fanfare and a more mellow section). Maybe it's because it's the end of Pictures, but it always makes me tear up a little.

For pure movement of sound, the blending of instruments, beautiful harmonies & melodies and delicate nature, I chose these pieces:
1. Afternoon of the Faun - Debussy
2. The White Peacock - Griffith
3. Fantasia on a theme by Thomas Tallis - Vaughan Williams
4. Seranade for Strings - Samual Barber
5. Lacrimosa - Mozart's requiem

Joaquin Rodrigo's "Concierto de Aranuez"... (that might be mis-spelt) Composed in 1939 at the end of the Spanish civil war. It features flamenco guitar and orchestra in a beautifully haunting melody. The best recording of it so far is I think by Julian Breem back in the seventies,... closely followed by a later recording by John Williams (the classical guitarist, not the film score composer)

I think Nimrod from the Enigma Variations by Elgar and the 18th Variation of Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini by Rachmaninov are both gorgeous pieces. They sound so romantic and have the most beautiful melodies

I'd have to pick the the Bachianas brasileiras #5 for soprano and 8 cellos by Heitor Villa-Lobos. It is the most hauntingly beautiful thing I have ever heard - hands down.
