Poll: Instrumental Music

[Vigormortis]

Hmm, seems composers like Zack Hemsey and Thomas Bergersen might be right up your alley.

Spoiler: Zack Hemsey

- I know this version has lyrics, but it's just so phenomenal.

Spoiler: Thomas Bergersen

If these suit your wishes, OP, let me know. I can link a lot more like them.

Give 'Struggle for Pleasure' a try. Thank me later


Or alternatively try some Phillip Glass, like Temple of the Golden Pavilion. Gave me shivers the first time I heard it:

 

[Scars Unseen]

Got a few options:

Spoiler: Ólafur Arnalds - mix of strings/piano and electronica

Spoiler: Russian Circles - Instrumental Metal

Spoiler: And a few random instrumental tracks from non-instrumentalist bands: Porcupine Tree, Storm Corrosion, The Gathering

Technically that last one has vocalizing, but no actual lyrics

I'm a big instrumental listener for certain reasons. I'm not sure if these fit your bill, but I'll post 'em anyway:

Spoiler: This is Causa Sui, which is basically slowly evolving guitar porn.

Spoiler: Earthless, more guitar porn, a bit harder than Causa Sui.

It doesn't exactly have the classical bits like in your example. Well, it has none of those really. But if you ask me these are worth mentioning anyway. If you want some piano though, that maybe isn't that classical, this one might be a good listen:

Spoiler: Ludovico Einaudi, especially this album might have the more melancholy-ish, mysterious sound you might like.[MEDIA=youtube
