All the youtube videos make the thread seem... clustered(?)
I agree with Wala
Brahms 4 is epic, I'm studying it in my music analysis class here at Uni and the harmonies/counterpoint that he does is just brilliant! Check out the first movement too (p.s. this recording isn't that great compared to the one I have of the Berlin Phil) + Show Spoiler +
If you're looking for music to rock out to check out Shostakovich 10. Mvt 2 is my favorite + Show Spoiler +
Schubert Erlkonig! I feel like the piano intro could be a rock tune if someone rearranged it for electric guitars + Show Spoiler +
This Chopin Nocturne is definitely overplayed but it is such an amazing piece in my eyes and is one of those piece i can listen to forever and ever. + Show Spoiler +

If I'm bored I can simply open up one of the Beethoven sonata books (he wrote 32, and the 32 sonatas are usually put into two books) and just play the sonata movement that I happen to stumble on first.

Wow best of luck man! I play classical guitar but you're way above my level :D,. I love that piece btw. There are plenty of other renditions on youtube - A mad old school one by John Williams is up there too.
It's a shame that the thread is titled "classical" music yet I don't see Mozart here at all :O
Mozart's K271, perhaps one of my favorite piano concertos. Almost go in tears near the end of the
I can't believe no one has posted Horowitz's best video on youtube...probably the best interpretation of Chopin's Ballade in G-Minor.. + Show Spoiler +
Also, the Liszt piece that I've had stuck in my head for a long LONG time..his transcription of Schubert's Ave Maria, it is SUPER difficult. + Show Spoiler +

If there's one thing you don't do, don't claim that so-and-so the best interpretation for Chopin ever because there isn't. Period. + Show Spoiler +
Here are some my top Op. 23's (in no particular order) (well the ones that are on YouTube). You may or may not disagree with them. Horowitz (1982) + Show Spoiler +
To me, Rachmaninov was the ultimate composer. His music is like a roller coaster. It's violent and passionate and always wonderful. A lot of composers like Bach and other Baroque/early classical bore me to tears.
Though there are countless videos/songs I could upload, I will upload my personal favorites. Though his Piano Concerto 2 is comprised of three major themes/parts, this Youtube video is split into four. I especially love the final allegro part.
I only started listening to classical music again like from six months ago, so I'm not very well read, nor know a very wide variety of composers or pieces.
At the moment, some of my top favorites are Tchaikovsky's Violin Concerto in D (I only have Sarah Chang's performance, though), and the first movement of Brahms' first symphony (I have Berlin Philharmoniker and Karajan's recording).
I tend to favor classical and later romantic stuffs from what I've run into. I also like later Baroque stuff...it's the heavy metal of classical music .
