Well at least Suzuka gets the same results I do (no hiss on Radiohead, hiss on Beethoven, no hiss on Chopin). Wish I knew what was going on with that Radiohead which some people hear "lots of hiss" and others hear none at all.
Anyway, took down the Chopin as I warned. Now for a couple quick classical suggestions; these are pieces which I hear little to no hiss on, but as the Radiohead track seems to demonstrate, YMMV.
1. Krystian Zimerman, Polish Festival Orchestra: Chopin Piano Concertos 1 & 2
2. Joshua Bell, London Symphony Orchestra: Gershwin Fantasy
3. Murray Perahia, Goldberg Variations
4. Andre Prévin, London Symphony Orchestra: Holst, The Planets
5. Yoel Levi, Atlantic Symphony Orchestra: Mahler Symphony 2 / adagio from 10
6. Evgeny Kissin, Mozart Piano Concertos 12 & 20 Rondo K.382
7. James Ehnes, Paganini 24 Caprices for Solo Violin
8. Stephen Hough, Andrew Litton & Dallas Symphony Orchestra: Rachmaninov Piano Concertos and Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini
9. Sharon Isbin: Latin Romances for Guitar
10. Giuliano Carmignola, Andrea Marcon & Venice Baroque Orchestra: Vivaldi Late Violon Concertos RV 386, 235, 296, 258, 389, 251
These are just some suggestions. Truth be told, I don't hear hiss on MOST of my classical unless I turn the volume up significantly higher than I enjoy. But good luck in finding recordings that you like.
