The Rite of Spring by Igor Stravinsky:Barbas said:Can you do better than this piece, Escapists?[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nxHyhHQSrfw]
Anything moving or soul-stirring, really.
And The Firebird Suite:
The ending of the later still makes me cry. And the Disney Fantasia 2000 version is the best played one I have heard despite that the piece is abridged:
A big fan of the Barcarolle from Les Contes d'Hoffmann, it's soothing as can be.
Otherwise, as far as purely beautiful music goes, I personally think it doesn't get better than Polovtsians Dances from Borodin's Prince Igor.
EDIT:
Can't forget about the waltz in Tchaikovsky's Sleeping Beauty either, it gets regularly stuck in my head, the melody is just that "fun" I suppose.
Antonin Dvorak's Symphony No. 9, From the New World is a powerful piece of music brilliance, and my favourite to this day.
I love the slower, more deliberate pieces. Most recently I've been absolutely enthralled by Rachmaninov's 'The Isle of the Dead'.
That slow build up, the tension, the somewhat sad or melancholy tune. It's just so beautiful yet haunting. Then of course you've got the legendary classics like Beethoven's 'Moonlight Sonata' or Mozarts 'Requiem' which are somewhat similar in style but also considerably more well known, for obvious reasons, but this is the one that I've been loving more recently.

I know this one is from a video game and I know its from World of Warcraft but WOW's soundtrack is not all bombastic and epic.Barbas said:Can you do better than this piece, Escapists?[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nxHyhHQSrfw]

This one piece gives me tears, also play the video at 03:40 where it starts the piece I wanted to show you:
This is probably very mainstream of me, but I've always loved this piece:
I think the first time I heard it was in Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog on the telly.
