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.

As a departure from the straight and narrow classical/orchestral offerings, I've recently delved into orchestral movie soundtracks - my favorites from recent movies...

Lord of the Rings - all 3!
Braveheart
Pirates of the Caribbean - Dead Man's Chest
Snow Falling on Cedars
Gladiator
The Red Violin

and, although not necessarily orchestral (more world-music), I love Peter Gabriel's "Passion" (music from the movie "The Last Temptation of Christ").

If you try and like some of these recommendations, I'll be happy to provide more...

Happy listening!
