Best Classical to "broaden" listening arena?


I have come to "love" Yanni, Norah Jones, Sade, Sarah Brightman, etc.

Since I really appreciate individual instruments & have a fairly high end system with separation as a strong point--I am interested in which composer / group I should start my "classical" specific collection with?

On Audiogon, Classical seems to be the highest sold category thereby indicating high collectibility & listening by educated music lovers.

Thx in advance for your opinions,

I assume you are looking for more specific recommendations, and especially some that are well recorded, spacious, and engaging. For violin, try some of Hillary Hahn's Sony recordings, such as Mozart, Barber & Meyer, Brahms & Stravinsky, Mendelsohn, and Elgar. For cello and piano, try Zuill Bailey's Telarc recording of Brahms works for cello and piano. All are quite accessible.
