10 classical recordings to start with...

"My first and probably most important directive is to pay uninterrupted attention to the music. Classical music – like the films of Bergman or the books of Pynchon – requires our complete focus if we are to enjoy and understand it. As pleasant as it can be to have a Mozart piano concerto tinkling in the background over brunch, as tempting as it is to read a book or work at your computer with string-quartet accompaniment, don't do it and expect to get anywhere with classical music. You must learn to listen to a classical piece as a kind of continuous narrative, just as films and books are. Miss a bit, and you may miss it all." - Timothy Mangan
