Especially the album La Danse Macabre.
I could reccomend about a million neoclassical shred bands and players but i get the feeling that is not quite what you want.

THE GATHERING - How to measure a planet
THE GATHERING - if_then_else
i mean wow, 2 of my all time favourites here. brilliant, theres loads of classical influence in here, at the end of many songs theres about a minute or two of instrumental brilliance.

Actually, in terms of their vision and scope, I'd say Ulver. Not quite what you mean, I know, but 'Themes.." got me so excited because I felt that finally, a band was taking something as serious as, say, composing a symphony.
Anyway, some more serious stuff:
Nightwish (and not just because they have opera vocals)
Arcturus (last 2 albums (not counting the remix one))
Tristania have a choral thing happening here and there.
Within Temptation, their last album (Mother Earth) has a really full orchestral score, I think it's all synthesised, but it sounds really good (they must be rich to afford good synthesisers)
[edit] and Diabolical Masquerade- Death's Design. Movie soundtrack, it's very cool.
And In The Woods use a string 4tet on "Omnio", which is such a great album I need to mention it, though it's not really 'Classically influenced"
And Bolt Thrower. Don't forget Bolt Thrower.....

The end of most of the tracks in Diabolical Masquerade - Nightwork, it sounds like either barouqe or classical...

YES! 'Omnio' is one of the best, if not THE best, albums ever recorded!!
OPeth fans would LOVE it, as well!

I love Opeth, and I bought Omnio a while ago after a recommendation. The verdict...I just don't get it. Whenever I try to listen to it, I wind up turning it off, it is just NOT an enjoyable experience for me, and I''ve tried many times. I don't knowwhat it is about it, it just rubs me the wrong way. Now I love types of music, and I like experimental/progressive metal (I even like Green Carnation, their spin off band). What am I missing?

My absolute favorites -
Symphony X - V
Tristania - World of Glass
Nikolo Kotzev - Nostradamus
Lacrimosa - Elodia
Therion - Vovin
Then there are countless others, by Stratovarius, Rhapsody, Savatage, Nightwish, Kamelot, Yngwie Malmsteen, Trans-Siberian Orchestra, sometimes Pain of Salvation, also occasionally Rage.
There would be really to many to list. I think a classical influence is rarely a bad thing, so I tend to seek out lots of such albums.

You need to listen to it in the dark, for a start
, preferably while lying down and in a subdued mood. I'd recommend putting track two (I am your flesh) on repeat for a while (I love that song).
