HELP Classically ignorant, need vinyl insight

Getting back into vinyl after 20+ years and need some advice. I just purchased a TT and now I need records to play on it. I'd like to start my vinyl collection with "classical" but I'm clueless as to were to begin. I need help on what albums and composers to look for. I do like the following:

1. French horn music
2. String music
3. Melancholy music, the type that makes your bones ache.
4. Conan the Barbarian music. You know the kind that makes you want to get on your horse and impale someone.

Any and all suggestions most welcome. By the way, I wasn't sure if I should post this here or in "music". I chose this as I only wanted TT advocates advice.

Also I need to get record cleaning supplies, what do I need and where can I get it?
Thanks.

Rtenyes, the scope of the topic is vast. You may find a good starting point by perusing some of the threads listed here:

Audiogon Classical Music Threads

As to cleaning supplies, I recommend Walker Audio Prelude record cleaning fluids and brushes coupled with a VPI 16.5 (or 17F) record cleaning machine to vacuum off the fluid residue. The commercial cleaning fluid makes a major difference in the quality of the results.
