Herbert Weixelbaum has done some performances of Mozart pieces, they're pretty incredible.

The Parodius series' arrangements of classical pieces are legendary - the Konami sound team pretty much defined the pinnacle of chipmusic (or SFC music at least) in their era:

Mixing chip and classical music has been an idea that's interested me for a while. I don't listen to much classical music per say, I really like Pachabele's Canon ('scuze the poor spelling) and was thinking of doing an arrangement of it, but realized it wouldn't sound as god as I'd like. I had an idea that you could have multiple consoles/peices of software playing at the same time, to recreate an orchestra.

Animal Style's "Gameboy Madrigals" probably falls under this:

I did some Mozart a bit ago. Translating musical notation into famitracker's syntax and putting my own creative spin on sections during the process was a fun experiment.

As far as original compositions go, Fearofdark's "an age of planetary pride" has a classical bent to it, and it ends with a pretty nice fugue (I think its a fugue)

Rob Hubbard's Delta song is pretty much a cover of Philip Glass' Cojones-Zatziki.
...so also feel like mentioning Tristan Perich in that minimalist chip tradition.
Sascha Müller made some classical works on LSDj.
And http://www.yoavgal.com/bitbybit.html (more like chip opera)
But imo Linus Åkessons Reverberations is pretty outstanding...
