hi alexandra-

not sure where your knowledge/experience is with classical music is, but i would start with the 'hits.'

bach, mozart, and beethoven are the 'big 3' to start with. if you have itunes, check-out some of the many classical stains they have. the 'pandora' rec was good too i feel.

i was a mozart groupie before depression. his works are pretty great to do almost anything to; read, meditate, workout and more. his piano and violin sonatas are pretty kind to the mind. his operas i would save for live performances.

bach can be very inspiring in a 'heavy' sort of way.

and, beethoven. well, just make sure to turn it up to '11' on the volume! blast it so the neighbors will complain. i recommend his symphonies #2,5 and of course 9.

i can recommend many more if you like. but, again, if you are just starting out i would explore these 3 giants of music. i'd equate them in some way to elvis (early), the beatles, and dylan as a starting point...which would lead you to some pretty amazing other composers that will turn you on even more i'd predict.

john
