Liszt is my favorite too. La Campanella is pretty L337. I can't play it, I've tried, I need more skillz though.
My favorite Liszt piece is Un Sospiro though, beautiful. AND , I can play it haha. So that makes it better.
I'm transcribing Liszt's 'Danse Macabre' to a metalish song. : D
I'd have to say Les jeux d´eau à la Villa d´Este and Nuages Gris have to be some of my favourite Liszt pieces. But probably my overall 'favourite' piano composition of all time is Ballad Op23 in G minor by Chopin. (Played by Rubinstein).

I guess, i like classical when it comes to Orchestras. But im not too keen on clarinet quincertos and stuff with a piano accompaniment. It bores the shit out of me.

Yeah! Mahler is the man! His music has got "everything".
I.E. at the end of his 6th symphony he includes "the blows of death" (!) which is illustrated by one of the drummers (yes, he prescribes not one, but a couple of percussionists in his symphonies) who playes an enormous wooden sledgehammer(!) - whacking it down a couple of times on a large box of hardwood!
And in the beginning of the fourth - angelic flutes and sleigh bells!!
Mahler is not for the faint at heart!
Yes, and Bruckner is cool, too!

I love a lot of classical music. I'm nearly done with learning Chopin's Polonaise in f-sharp minor, op. 44. Great piece of music.

It's not classical in the (for want of a better word) "classic" sense of the word, but i watched Bladerunner about four years ago now and automatically fell in love with Vangelis' film score. It's more sort of electro-operatic, I'm not sure but i like it and after that i got into a lot of his music, he did the theme to Chariots of Fire and Gladiator i think. From there stuff like Beethoven, Bach, Mozart, Wagner (I know it's romanticism but still) is easy to get into. And my mam always used to listen to Vivaldi when i was a kid which has got me into that, she probably got from my late grandad who was a big fan of classical i'm told.

I enjoy classic music since I was a child. I'm not a fan of that kind of music but I enjoy it... My Dad used to said that Classic Musicians was the Metalheads of the past hahahaha...

I like "classical" music a lot, this is probably because I've played the violin for like 8 years..One of the things that I like most about Opeth is their ability to create tuneful, influenced by classical music songs.
To the threadstarter, I totally agree with you, Opeth fans probably would enjoy Bartok.

Why didn't I see this thread earlier? 
Roughly a third of all the music that I listen to is classical... my long-time favorite is Bach, I've been listening to his Brandenburg Concertos for the past few weeks... mainly Concertos 1, 2, and 3.
Other favorites are Wagner, Schubert, Schumann, Brahms, Sibelius, and Berlioz.
I also recently began listening to Edvard Grieg... I never really got into Dvorak, and Grieg is basically his Northern counterpart.

I too like Bartok and Beethoven.
I don't care what anyone else says; Chopin's "Revolutionary" is INTENSE.
I can't stand much of Mozart though.
edit - that might be due to that movie with the gay laughing

Let me be anal and say that Bach is baroque, not classical. But I don't really care what people call it as long as it's great music.
