The Marriage of Figaro by Mozart ... start to finish it's unstoppable. Literally the most beautiful sounds I have ever heard in my life. Brings me to tears every time ....

A literally astounding and breathtaking masterpiece.

According to wikipedia;
'Classical music is the art music produced in, or rooted in, the traditions of Western liturgical and secular music, encompassing a broad period from roughly the 11th century to present times.'

I quite like this myself, but this is more a combo of classical and breakcore which is pretty unique and I'm not really sure where the orchestral samples originate from but I'd like know if anyone recognises them:
