Not classical to be fair - but probably the most peaceful piece of music I have come across

Debussy's Prelude to a Fawn's Afternoon, I would say.

(Prelude a l'Apres Midi d'un Faune)

Hang on ... I'll find a link ...

Bat out of hell

I'm ignoring the obvious "usual suspects" like Chopin's Nocturnes, the Moonlight Sonata, Pachelbel's Canon, blahdy blaahdy blaah.

The magic of "Faun's Afternoon" is that even when the music speeds up, it is still relaxing.

This is Sunday afternoon, crashed in the sitting room with a sherry, music.

But yes, obviously ... Bat Out Of Hell is also a possibility.
