Rmihai, I'm sorry but for me this is simply too broad a question to post any meaningful response. There are many resources available on the web to help people begin to explore classical music.

But, to be more constructive, I'll just offer some links to some previous posts about great classical music available here in the archives. These link to some of my answers and folks can simply look through the rest of the particular thread for great recommendations from others.

"Piano Sonata in A Major, D. 959," F. Schubert, Richard Goode on Electra/Nonesuch

My favourite recording along with outstanding performance is

"Symphonic Tango" a compilation on TelDek label.

It's not realy classical, but the mix of bandoneon with sympnonic orchestra + the recording quality is simply amazing.
