Great to hear that you want to get into classical! There's a huge world of music out there, and if you get serious enough, you just might catch the collecting bug that we've all come down with.
If you are interested in the Decca 2: Analogue Sound, you may want to also consider the two Mercury Living Presence boxed sets out there. It's pretty hard to get the first one these days unless you pay a fortune, but the second one is still in circulation and can be had for about $125 for 55 CDs. Personally, I think that the second boxed set is superior to the first. These contain some quintessential recordings from the golden era of classical recordings.
The other set to consider is the RCA Living Stereo 63 CD set. Like the Mercury set, this also contains remastered issues of some of the classic RCA Living Stereo releases of the 1950s-60s in excellent sound.
