Classical music newbie needs your suggestions


I purchased around 300 like new classical albums last summer. Music from a wide range of composers. I also purchased around the same amount of operas. (I may sell those).

I’m finally retired and able to pursue a lifelong desire to understand and enjoy classical music.

Pieces that move you to tears, or pluck heart strings. Your all time favorites.
The albums you’d take to that desert island.
Any suggestions are welcome.

So there.

Some great suggestions, but I'm not going to add any more as they've already bust your budget two times.

@drawding   I bought up all the used golden period classical vinyl in the late 80s for £1 a disc or less.

It's all being sold at collectible money now as many have come to realise a lot of digital recordings suck and are going back to vinyl.  The market is streaming vs. vinyl now.  But most current vinyl has nothing on the Deccas etc of the late 50s and 60s.
