What a delight to see so many people interested in classical music! Thank goodness that the love of music isn't dead yet after decades of bombardment with pop-rubbish.

My suggestions:

Beethoven's 31st and 32nd piano sonatas (probably the most beautiful music I have ever heard)

Beethoven's Razumovsky quartets (opus 59)

Bach's cantata 'Nun komm, der Heiden Heiland II'

Rachmaninov's Preludes (esp. no. 24, what a lovely piece of classical kitsch)

George Enescu's Sonatas for violin and piano

I could go on for a while, if you wish.

Thanks for the post. Never heard of Enescu--will check him out, though.
