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.

I got into Classical about half a century ago, and some of the stuff that hooked me in does do much for me now, perhaps due to over familiarity.  The OP is retirement age so I am not sure what appealed to me as a teenager would work for him.  Again, the radio is your friend…
