Catching up here--for other newcomers to the world of classical, I have found the NPR book to be extremely useful (though my wife has laughed at me for buying something by NPR, which she loves, and I do not). I have picked up a few recordings mentioned there an above, and am enjoying the process of learning and listening. I am now focusing on used stuff through here and ebay as I still really don't know what I like.
Thanks so much for all the help, and I hope to answer my own question for the next crop of newbies at some point before too long.
