Best Classical music?

I've heard some classical I really like and some that I find rather boring. What would you say is the best classical pieces (from any time or maybe it's a movie score?). I really like some Mozart stuff and the WoW music. As well as generally good movie scores. So what's the best classical stuff (modern or old)?

Oh come on. You really shouldn't have any trouble finding information on classical music. There's not a genre on Earth that's had more written about it. Why ask on TA?

One of my favorite classical CDs is Mozart - Symphony No. 29 - Eine Kleine Nachtmusik.
I love all the tracks on this CD especially this gem of a piece "Symphony No. 29- Andante"
Quite teh famous CD I admit. But it's mah favorite.

If you are talking about Indian classical music, then there's plenty to choose from.

None of that is classical. It's just orchestrated music. Just because it uses similar instruments doesn't make it classical.

If you want to get into it, I suggest doing a bit of research on the different time periods and the composers that are associated with them, then you'll be able to ask more specific questions and get better answers as a result.

Personally I could never get into Mozart, Bach or Beethoven much. And despite every other classical snob out there hating him, I rather like Tchaikovsky, and to a lesser extent Brahms.
