As a daily consumer of classical music I passed by this topic so many times and still find it too broad a topic to answer :facepalm: Classical music is so much bigger than ONE genre... And seriously I hate "favourite" questions... How do I pick a favourite, when ONE composer has some thousands pieces of works and there were thousands of composers? It's putting me in my grave... LOL
But hey since you mentioned magic flute, do you like opera? The very same opera has magnificent arias, and this is my favourite at least in this specific opera:

And modesty police please chill... I was going to share the live version but the costumes aren't the most modest so I shared one with just lyrics.

SACREDMUSIC.FM is all polyphony & chant 24/7 they also have an app for iOS & Android.

https://www.sacredmusic.fm
Neither the website nor the iOS app are working for me. As it is a small operation I suspect there will be more hiccups. Hope the site will be able to work them out.

No doubt you have certain pieces of music that you really really really enjoy, thus creating a pool of favourites? 🙂
I have my favourite composers list but there are others and indeed many other works from medieval to Romantic that are enjoyed. Religious/liturgical music by its very essence is the highest.

Some peices touch your soul more than others, right?

I do. Any of Mozart's operas are very entertaining and the music outstanding. I have seen this opera live and I will never forget this aria. Very beautiful.
