Post Re: Favorite classical compositions and composers?
Many moving classical pieces in my collection, but I keep coming back to this one.

Ravel - Concerto in G, 2nd movement: Adagio assai 10:25min
The album is
Charles Munch, his last recordings, Orchestre de Paris
Nicole Henriot-Schweitzer (piano)
http://www.discogs.com/Charles-Munch-Ravel-Honegger-Orchestre-De-Paris-His-Last-Recordings/release/4628035

Incidentally, the director, Alejandro Gonsalez Inarritu used this piece by Ravel in his film, "BIUTIFUL" as the song for his end credits. Which can be heard here, but it's not the Munch recording that I love so much. Couldn't find that online. Here's the version in the movie, not nearly as good as Munch's version.

Munch also does a lovely Barber - Addagio for Strings, which is on Youtube

Bach's Brandenburg Concertos are my all time favorites.
