Looking for some well-recorded/mixed/mastered classical music compilations to enjoy with some new HD-650's :)
 
I'm not a total noob, but am clearly super-far behind knowledge and experience-wise from other members here. My tastes probably seem rudimentary....mostly classical music 101 stuff like:
 
Bach
- Badinerie, Air on the G, Brandenburg Concertos, Suites for Solo Cello
Bruch
- Violin Concerto #1
Albinoni
-Adagio in Gm
Grieg
-Hall of the Mountain King
Chopin
-Nocturne
Satie
-Gymnopedie
Tchaikovsky
-Swan Lake (all)
Sarasate
-Carmen Fantasy
 
Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated! I've got a $50 Amazon gift card so any links leading to there would be a bonus. Should I linger around the "For Sale" forums here on Head-Fi for this kind of thing?
 
THANKS!

Nothing? Anybody? 
 
Didn't really want to shoot randomly in the dark with so many compilations out there--my wallet would be even more angry that it already is :frowning2:
 
Really want to find stuff with great sound-staging & separation.
 
I see this thread here too, except the tastes seem to be very selective.

I would recommend listening to Ludovico Einaudi. One of my favorite artists of all time. This is my favorite song by him:
