I didn’t find any Apocalyptica playing real classical tunes. So here is the closest I found, the “Hall of the moutain King” from the Cult album.
In the Hall of the Mountain King (Norwegian: I Dovregubbens hall) is a piece of orchestral music, Opus 23, composed by Edvard Grieg for Henrik Ibsen’s play Peer Gynt, which premiered in Oslo on February 24, 1876. Although a performance of the full piece runs to only two minutes, it has attained iconic status in popular culture.

You will surely recognize the air:
