While technically not Classical in genre, I thought I'd post it here anyway.
I've always liked Gregorian Chant. I find it rich and soothing.

My primary love in this field is nationalistic-romantic music (be it the Russians, Wagner, Sibelius, Grieg, Elgar, Respighi, et al.)

Peter Benoit - Mijn moederspraak (1889)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XqcGAtERQt0
The video which accompanies Klaus Groth's poem set to music by the Flemish componer Peter Benoit is a travelogue by old postcards and paintings of Flanders - a small nation tucked between nations with a somewhat huger if not notorious ego, though it's not free of flaws itself and while unlike Holland it doesn't fight to keep the sea at bay, sadly, it's inundated by a far too large population, raiding and looting the earth that moulded and fed them, as there is a saying that every Fleming is born with a brick in his tummy.
Well, not me, I like open spaces and empty streets, cleansed from crowds through rainfalls and by night time ...

Couldn't find the marvellous Passepieds part in Zaïs though, terrible shame

Two pieces that always cheer me up:
Mozart:
German Dance, No 3

I believe that legends and myth are largely made of
“truth”, and indeed present aspects of it that can only be received in this mode; and long ago certain truths and modes of this kind were discovered and must always reappear.
J.R.R. Tolkien
Indeed it might be a basic characteristic of existence that those who would know it completely would perish, in which case the strength of a spirit should be measured according to how much of the “truth” one could still barely endure-or to put it more clearly, to what degree one would require it to be thinned down, shrouded, sweetened, blunted, falsified.
Nietzsche
To God everything is beautiful, good, and just; humans, however, think some things are unjust and others just.
Heraclitus

Some decent 20th century classical; the last gasp of the form before the exhaustion of the artistic capabilities of the West.

I've always love Bolero. When it reaches its crescendo I get chills down my spine every time. I'm also quite fond of Tchaikovsky's Peter and the Wolf and the Nutcracker.

There are no words fit to describe this piece of heaven translated into music:
