Good idea for a thread! For me it's a close tie between Igor Stravinsky's Les Noces (intense, raw, complex, unique) and Gustav Mahler's Das Lied von der Erde (deep, subtle, grandiose and very emotional). Even though they're rather dissimilar, both pieces are extraordinarily beautiful to me.

My favorite piece of all time would definetley without a doubt or question would be Igor Stravinsky's The Rite Of Spring( so deep, rustic, harmonal, tribunal, rich tones). Played the ballet my junior year of high school in the Las Vegas Youth Philharmonic Orchestra, loved every moment of it.

I have been into rock music since I actually started to listen to music and only a few years ago I began to listen to classical; so, I don't know much about classical but by now my very favorite composition is "Messe de Requiem" by the french composer Gabriel Faure.

These pieces are all my 2nd favorites (a close second) and drift in and out of first:

Stravinsky's The Rite of Spring (especially Procession of the Wise Elder or the beginning of Part 2) or Finale from the Firebird Suite
Rachmaninoff's Piano Concerto No. 3 Movement 2 (yes, I like 2 the best) or No.2 Movement 1
Chopin's Prelude Opus 28 No. 24
Liszt's Transcendental Etude (1,2,4, 8, or 10), Un Sospiro Etude
Holst's Jupiter from The Planets Suite
Paganini's Caprice Op. 1 No. 24
Dvorak's Symphony No. 9
Ravel's Pavane for a Dead Princess

But currently I think it is any of the Four Movements from Ravel's String Quartet in F major

Pretty hard, this, so I'll cheat and select a piece per era:

Medieval:

Anonymous - El Cant de la Sibil·la:

Absolutely stunning piece of music, stops time in it's tracks every time.

Renaissance:

Antoine Brumel - Missa et ecce terra motus:

Baroque:

J.S. Bach - Goldbergvariationen:

It's amost a cliche choice, but Glenn Goulds recordings of these variations are amongst the most beautiful pieces of all time.

Classical:

W.A. Mozart - Requiem

Romantic:

Gustav Mahler - symphony nr. 2:

[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fEE5JbwCpXw&playnext=1&list=PL85AAE4EE59136442
[/youtube]

Early 20th century:

Claude Debussy - La Mer

Late 20th century:

Giacinto Scelsi's Hurqualia is pretty high on my list. One of the most epic pieces ever written, like tectonic drift, vulcanos and earthquakes turned to music.

Contemporary:

Oswaldo Golijov - Ayre

And loudly from the rooftops hear us shout it --- "Down with the New Age and the proliferation of pet ideologies that only divide hearts on Sacred Observance, and play directly into the hands of globalist hegemonic powers. Up with the simple inextinguishable Light of Truth".
