Abigor, Emperor and Obtained Enslavement immediately comes to mind. Doesn't have to be Black Metal. Any suggestions?

Ancient Wisdom (Swe). You cannot avoid mentioning this band when talking about black metal combined with classical music:

Yngwie Malmsteen is a bit obvious, but he actually did a whole symphony + wanking album

here's the intro bit live: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QE2b8sUS4Xc

Uli Jon Roth also did some reworking of various classical bits including Vivaldi's Four Seasons: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1oG7Gf7dUgU

For something less obvious, there's a pretty cool bite of Stravinsky on Voivod's Nothingface: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9r8qCxEYiUg
