And Moonlight Sonata (Beethoven) played by Wilhelm Kempff: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O6txOvK-mAk

Beethoven's Seventh Symphony, first movement. The version conducted by Sir Georg Solti and performed by the Chicago Symphony Orchestra is perfection.

Rachmaninoff's Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini - an orchestral version, and especially minutes 14-18. Some of the most exquisite music I've ever heard.
