music Classical Music, Help me find some!

Well, every once in a while I need to listen to this stuff. It's been a long time, If anyone listens to classical Music post the names of some stuff you like. I need to beef up that arsenal!
 
ANy of the classics such as Bach, Beethoven (not so much, but interestin), Wagner (a relative of mine btw) are great. Also, the people playing the music is key so go out and find yourself some stuff performed by The Cleveland Orcistra.

My feelings on Beethoven are perfectly summerized by Gary Oldmen in this classic scene:

Oldmen is an amazing actor
 
You just won the "I pulled out a random movie" t-shirt lol. Do you know of anything Piano oriented? just quiet piano playing? I really know nothing about it sorry :-p, thats why I asked people to post what they like, I'm going to have to sort through a lot of stuff before I find what I'm looking for. It was playing randomly in a store the other day and I'm dying to find it. I might go back to the store and ask them lol
 
Paul Galbraith, he's a classical guitarist, plays an 8 string guitar, go to the store right now and buy every album you can find. He's that f'ing good.
Three of his albums
Bach Sonatas and Partitas
Bach Lute Suites
Paul Galbraith Plays Haydn.

Seriously, they're amazing.

oops....those are classics, not classical...

I have always liked anything by Beethoven/Bach, but haven't listened to any in years...
 
How about some Andres Segovia? Especially when he plays Asturias.

Usually anything by him and my 'go to' classical music is almost always anything by Vivaldi, but i especially love his "Four Seasons".
