I completely missed this thread?

I used to listen to classical as a kid, and again when I studied the Piano (not very successfully) as it helped to understand structure.  I didn't really have favourites though as I tried to be as varied as possible with what I listened to.

That said, I cannot help feeling a great reverence for Rachmaninoff's Piano Concerto No. 3 in D minor, but then, who wouldn't?

What can I say about the next one, really. It does things to my soul that I can put in words.

I've enjoyed classical music for a while, just never really bothered to delve deep into it.  This little clip did have a big influence on my music though.
