John Cage, the great compositor of aleatory ("random") music made with kitchen sinks, typewriters and chairs, also did some classical compositions using his mastery of silence.
Here, his famous 4'33" concert, in three movements.

Well, John Cage is not the only master of silence. Some others have copied him, notably Aaron Seltz, who made 25'37", still considered the most challenging of all pieces based on silence so far.
Since this is with a Classical _air_ (meaning not just classical but orchestral too), here a pop version of Benedetto Marcello's adagio from his Concerto for Oboe and Strings in D minor. Played by one of my fave orchestras: Franck Pourcel's.
