For Classical music, I personally recommend anything from the Baroque period. Cecilia Bartoli is a vocalist who records mostly Baroque music. Also Gabrielli (more Renaissance) and Beethoven (more Classical/Romantic). But Baroque is my favorite era of musical creation.

"Classical" music is an awfully broad spectrum. If you're really interested in a very broad range, talk to Jim; he's got a plethora of the stuff that you can listen to and determine what area, if any, you want to specialise in.

As far as your others... Robert Miles is excellent...you might also want to investigave Chris Spheeris, Brent Lewis, Ray Lynch, Kitaro...you may even find some of Yanni's stuff that will suit your fancy.

Listen, and explore!

Thank you, thank you, thank you... :)
This should help... although I think I will pass on the Yanni, I'm not really into the new age stuff...

I thought the same thing about Yanni but seriously you would be surprised its not all that new age he is actually really good if your looking for more of instrumental music.....

Want the popular classical? or esoteric stuff?

Start with the 3 B's: Bach, Beethoven, and Brahms. Others you should look for: Mozart, Strauss, Wagner. If you're looking for vocals, I'd have you start with Gilbert and Sulivan's Pirates of Penzance and HMS Pinafore, because they're in English, and I don't think you know German or Italian.

I'm not really big on Vocals. I want just music. :) Thanks
