You'll get as many answers as there are people on this forum. Every classical listener has their own set of the "Best 50" pieces. If you have access to a library with a collection of classical music to lend, or there is a classical FM station in your area, those would be good places to start listening. Make notes of the things you like. (Even if you plan to collect vinyl, listening to CD's will audition the music for you.) Most classical music lovers have a strong basis in the symphonies and other works (concertos, sonatas, quartets) of Beethoven. You couldn't go wrong starting there. If you like those symphonies that will lead you to a lot of places. Others like to start with Bach, but in my opinion unless you have already had some experience with music, that will come later. Once hooked, you will like everything from Bach on to the current period. Those will a love of symphonic music frequently are fans of Beethoven, Mahler, and Shostakovich.
