Long Form
Moussorgsky - Pictures at an Exhibition [probably my overall favorite of any piece or set of pieces] - Great Gate of Kiev is without a doubt the pinnacle of music, for me. Simple, straightforword, yet enduringly moving.
Dvorak - Symphony 9 "From the New World" - particularly the Largo movement.
Handel - Messiah, Music for Royal Fireworks
Orff - Carmina Burana
Holst - The Planets
Verdi - Requiem
Medium form
Tchiakovsky - 1812 Overture, Romeo & Juliet
Sibelius - Finlandia
