What (in your opinion) is the best piece of Classical Music that you have ever heard?
I'll have to go with Erik Satie - Gymnopédie No.1
It's just so full of emotion and really relaxing. It brightens up my day every time :)
So how about it Flood? (Please provide links if you can :))

"Classical" is such a broad term for music. Are we talking Mid Evil, Renaissance, Baroque, Classical, Romantic and 20th Century music for base era's, but I hear more than often people throwing around "Classical" as if they could combine them all into one folder. You have so many options to choose from [i]within[/i] each era; Greek Plays, Italian Baroque Opera (Monteverdi), Haydn String Quartet's, possibly back to Gregorian Chant, bumping it up to 20th century 12 tone pieces/Serialism (Shoenburg) or even just your classical American composers like Sousa, Gershwin, Copeland, Cage or Bernstein. There is so much more. In short, there isn't any way I could classify all these terms into one piece, it's like saying "what website is the best". Best for what? They each have their own purpose. And we haven't even touched on Jazz yet ;-)
