10 Great Classical LP's

Asking, not telling. Any suggestions? I'm a middle-aged guy, but have just started listening to classical and am looking for suggestions. Thank you.

Start by taking a look at some of these Audiogon threads. You'll find lots of suggestions. And here are additional links to other classical music recommendations further down in the same thread. If you then have some specific questions, fire away!

And then there's the entire Lyrita catalog to explore from the used market. .

For orchestral, keep going and also head to the Decca and EMI catalogs. If you find you also enjoy Baroque and pre-Baroque music, then it's off the the Harmonia Mundi, Accent, Astree, CRD and Telefunken catalogs. Then you discover opera is not as bad as you once thought and it's off to the Decca archives once again. Then organ music and you're off to the Vista, Proprius, Erato catalogs. Great fun! Makes it hell to make recommendations. :-) .
