A large number of MIDI files of classical piano works by a large variety of great composers from Bach to Rachmaninoff. Most are said to be performed by professionals. A very nice collection.

Classical Piano Midi Page
Another large selection of MIDI files of classical piano works; some in MP3 format as well. Rather than recordings, these MIDI files were entered note-for-note then adjusted digitally for the desired sound. The result, to my ear, is a richer sound over straight MIDI.
