I couldn't possibly pick a favorite piece out of what is popularly referred to as "classical" music. Redlemon is right though, I tend to appreciate the pieces I have performed more than others. Durufle's Requiem is one of those for me as well as Dvorak's 9th symphony.
It is difficult for me to speak in preferences though, first because there are so many different styles within the broad understanding of "classical" and second because so many of them are exceptionally good. One thing I CAN say though, is that I don't like Handel and Bach, Beethoven, and Mozart don't tend to make me tingle as much as many other composers such as Dvorak or Tchaikovsky. That's not to mention the choral works I like, such as those by Durufle or Tavener...but the list goes on and on.
