Recommend me some wonderful classical music

Please?

I've liked the genre for some time now but I really don't know what to look for if I were to search for anything within this genre.

So yeah, recommendations please :)

It's not classical in the sense of Mozart and the like, but look up Yanni.

Metallica S&M is about the closest I got for ya. :P Baconbits2004

I may have those around the wrong way. I think 3 is 1.

mmmm does neoclassical count?

Olafur Arnalds makes beautiful music.

also some good songs by Mamiffer

TC I think you have to specify cause classical music is a pretty big genre having existed for over a millenia.

But how about some Bach? You can never go wrong with Bach:

• Badinerie (this isa must it's THE song that brought me to ****cal music and it's just as good so many years later)
• Brandenburg concerto

The following maybe a little harder to get into cause they're more polyphonic:

• Great fugue
• Well Tempered Klavier

Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata is my personal favorite.
Vivaldi's Four Seasons are all very good, I really like Winter, though.

I love this little number from the Jacques Offenbach opera 'The Tales of Hoffman' performed by Natalie Dessay.
