It's all about the music, dude! Sit down, relax and listen to some tunes.

Re: Good Classical Music

Some great recommendations from Neil.

Some obvious next steps:

More Barber: Violin Concerto and Essay No. 1 for Orchstra.
Mussorgsky: Pictures at an Exhibition
Beethoven: Symphonies Nos. 5 & 7

Some other works, mixing it up a bit:

Vaughan Williams: Symphony No. 5
Elgar: Enigma Variations
Falla: El amor brujo
Ravel: Concerto in D for Left Hand
Rimsky-Korsakov: Scheherezade
Bartok: Piano Concerto No. 3
Gorecki: Symphony No. 3
Prokofiev: Violin Concerto No. 2; Romeo & Juliet
Janacek: Sinfonietta
Villa Lobos: Bachianas Brasilieras No. 5
Revueltas: Sensamaya

For chamber music, I think the combination of piano, violin and cello is one of the easiest to get into:

Tchaikovsky: Piano Trio
Beethoven: "Archduke" Trio
Schubert: Piano Trio No. 2
Shostakovich: Piano Trio No. 2
