I suggest listening to some internet radio with classical music - there you can find what you like and what you don't. Ie. get winamp, select shoutcast radios in media library and select classical in genres.

hm... I listen to it, but I only have some cds a neighboor didn't want anymore (well, there are a lot of cds, actually, it is a collection of the "best classical music of all time), so I choose them randomly... Don't have a critic eye for them...
if no one can help you with this, just send me a message and I'll tell you some of the names I find interesting (can't do it now because they aren,t with me now, sadly)

EDIT: just something I noticed now "you want to get into classical music"? well, I think you can like it or not, just don't try to like something, it usually doesn't work.
I was seeing a forum now, try these ones, for a taste of it (I'm actually translating one title or two, so it may not be 100%)
Beethoven's fifth symphony (people always talk about it, not sure, but it can be named Fur Elise as well)
The sleeping beauty - Tchaikovysky
PACHEBEL´S CANNON (try this one first)
24th symphony - paganini
marcha turca - mozart
40th symphony - mozart
ode to joy - beethoven
moonlight sonata - beethoven
Eine Kleine Nachtmusik - Mozart
Orphée Aux Enfer de Offenbach - Can-Can
Tocatta e Fuga - Bach

that's long enough, I think. Just see if you like it.

EDIT 2: kept reading, a guy made a cd with:
Jesus, Joy Of Man's Desiring (BACH)
9th Symphony (BEETHOVEN)
March Of The Toreadors (BIZET)
The Messiah - Hallelujah Chorus (HANDEL)
The Blue Danube (STRAUSS)
Bolero (RAVEL)
Cannon in D (PACHEBEL)
Waltz From Sleeping Beauty (TCHAIKOVSKY)
The Magic Flute (MOZART)
Four Seasons - Summer (VIVALDI)

I'd add 'Largo' from Händel, it's pretty popular as well and very soothing



A few other great ones:

Ave Maria - Bach/Gounod

Te Deum Prelude - Charpentier

Humoreske - Dvorak (also a very good one)

Air - Bach

Love classical so I'll throw in a few too.

3 Gymnopédies - Erik Satie
Spiegel im Spiegel - Arvo Part
Spem In Alium - Thomas Tallis (choral but breathtaking so I had to mention it)
Adagio for Strings - Samuel Barber
Night On Bald Mountain - Modest Mussorgsky (can't forget this)

A semi-representative list:

Bach, Goldberg Variations
Handel, Hercules (there is an amazing DVD -- youtube clip here)
Haydn, string quartets op. 76
Mozart, piano concertos (all/any)
Beethoven, 5th 7th 8th and 9th symphonies (I suggest Harnoncourt's recordings)
Beethoven, piano sonatas op. 13 ("Pathetique"), 27#2 ("Moonlight"), 54 ("Waldstein"), and 57 ("Appasionata")
Schubert, songs (this disc -- youtube bits here and here)
Chopin, waltzes and nocturnes (the latter here)
Donizetti, Lucia di Lammermoor
Schumann, Dichterliebe
Verdi, La Traviata (get a DVD) and Requiem
Wagner, Die Meistersinger von Nuernberg (this DVD)
Bizet, Carmen
Tchaikovsky, Swan Lake
Brahms, clarinet quintet

Too much? Once you've absorbed that, you can start in on the 20th century.

Heh, a lot of good suggestions already, can't say that I've really listened to all of them myself though (I like classical music but don't really listen to it that often). Still, I just thought I'd add Tchaikovsky's The Nutcracker to the list.

[Sword For Hire]

Itunes (which is free) radio has a large list of classical stations as well

[Marik333]

Does "Danse Macabre" by Saint-Saens count?

[SpankyV]

Try the soundtrack to Excalibur

[BoomWav]

Me I listen to radio Rivendell. It feature the best fantasy music out there. The best movie and game music is there.

Ok, this is probably way to heavy for you right now...but you may be surprised, especially if you listen to the entire thing. I'm actually rehearsing to sing tenor in the 5th movement here in Des Moines at the Civic Center in November.



Mahler 2nd Symphony. Seriously dude. It's amazing.

[Bebbe777]

If you have Spotify, there is alot of classical music. The Vivaldi Philharmonic Orchestra is very good

[Anacronian Stryx]

Adagio for strings - Samuel Barber.

Or with a choir( then it's called Agnus Dei)
