A number of people requested some recommendations for good
classical titles; Here are some titles which I think are
excellent compositions:

Bach: Orchestral Suites (1-4)
Beethoven: Symphony #9, Piano Concerto #5
Schubert: Unfinished Symphony
Berlioz: Symphonie Fantastique
Prokofiev: Lt. Kije suite, Symphony #1
Tchaikovsky: Symphonies 4,5,6
Grieg: Holberg Suite
Bartok: Concerto for Orchestra, Rumanian Folk Dances
Franck: Symphony
Saint-Saens: Symphony #3
Handel: Water Music
Respighi: Pines of Rome, Ancient Airs and Dances, The Birds
Violin Concertos by: Brahms, Beethoven, Mendelssohn, Sibelius,
Tchaikovsky, Bruch #2, Prokofiev #2.
Rimsky-Korsakov: Scheherazade
I you send me specific interests, I'll be happy to give specific
recommendations; Also say if you want just titles or want information
on specific recordings.
It's great to finally see discussion of classical music on the net!
