Well, the good news is the classical music scene in Japan is quite large. The bad news is that i have no clue about it.

Well, i can recommend you to listen to "Symphonic X-Japan", which are X-Japan metal-tracks rearranged for a classical orchestra. Don't think you're actually looking for this though.

X-Japan's piano guy rocks. His works are quite inspiring.
Also, try checking out "Joe Hisaishi," who composes a lot of music for Miyazaki's films. His orchestrated and piano music are very good (to me, at least). They're not very "classical" in a sense, but very modernly orchestrated.
