I'm completely in love with Rachmaninov's Piano Concerto in C minor, the first movement for the most part. I love a lot of the music from the Black Blood Brothers OST, very modern orchestral music. Beethoven's Fifth Symphony is great, I really like Berliov's Fantastique, and of course some Mozart, though he's not my favorite. Tchaikovsky had a whole assortment of good music in the Nutcracker, but I think my favorite is the Dance of the Snowflakes (I'm not sure that's the actual piece's name). My favorite piano piece is Sonatina in C Latour.

"Lacie" by Yuki Kajiura from the Pandora Hearts soundtrack

I am vindicated!
I am selfish;
I am wrong!
I am right,
I swear I'm right.
Swear I knew it all along
And I am flawed!
But I am cleaning up so well
I am seeing in me now
The things you swore
You saw yourself...

Aah, so otakus listen to classical music too.

My favorites are probably Farandole from L'arlsesienne, Dvorak's New World Symphony, Hoe Down from Rodeo and In the Hall of the mountain King.

Hm... have to put Yanni on the list. My favorite is Felitsa. But then again, don't forget Yann Tiersen, pretty much every song.

This has been a favorite ever since I watched Mitsudomoe.

Bizet - L'Arlesienne Suite No. 2: Farandole
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2y09pD1r-Qs

Schumann's piano concerto in A minor. Oh, and I really like La Campanella by Liszt. And Bach's Goldberg Variations.

Debussy's Clair de Lune is my absolute favorite. But I also like Liszt's Etudes, and Chopin's Nocturnes.

[color=#C6AEC7]Thanks to blueangel06661 for the stock![/color]

Anything Joe Hisaishi, Infection by Chihiro Onitsuka has an orchestral tone, Arrietty's Song the orchestra version, and my final favorite, Moonlight by Trevor Morris, one not sure if it counts though. xD

"Everything is okay in the end. If it's not ok, then it's not the end."

"I'm tired of all the nonsense about beauty being only skin-deep. That's deep enough. What else do you want; an adorable pancreas?" - Jean Kerr

When I said 'death' before 'dishonor', I meant alphabetically.

Imagine what would happen if there were no more hypothetical situations.

I would absolutely second:
Clair de lune by Debussy
Liebestraum by Liszt
and Requiem for a dream!
If i had to add another one i'd go for Shawshank Redemption's theme, that was absolutely powerful to me, just like Requiem for a dream.

Piano:

Quote from Highway-STAR

Ryuichi Sakamoto's Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence. Epic and grand in every sense of the words.
Especially love his solo piano version. Ditto. His solo performance feels more intimate. Here's a new link as the one Aelys posted doesn't work anymore:

Ryuichi Sakamoto - 'Merry Christmas, Mr. Lawrence'

Orchestra:

Quote from oriana3k

Other favorite is the Butterfly Lovers Violin Concerto, by Chen Gang and He Zhanhao. Beautiful piece, even more so when you know the legend behind it. It truly deserves to be called the Chinese Romeo and Juliet. The above mentioned performance is great, although I like the following one better because of the solo violin's timbre:

The Butterfly Lovers Violin Concerto (Soloist: Lu Si-qing)

He can't understand that they end in him, but they don't end with him."

• Ursula K. Le Guin, Gifts[/color]

To be savoured:

• Blood Alone by TAKANO Masayuki
• Otoyomegatari by MORI Kaoru
• Gangsta. by Kohske
• Seishun Kouryakuhon by AKIZUKI Sorata

My favorite piano piece is When the love falls by Yiruma.
