I'm a pretty big fan of the time periods after the Romantic of the 19th and before the Surrealist movement of the mid 20th century.
Malher, Sibelius, Tchaikovsky, Dvořák, and Saint-Saens (although he can be a little stiff) are some of my favorites.

i like classical because the music can be broken down to individual musicians playing a single note over and over and when its all together it makes sense as a whole into a song.

what i do when i feel like listening to classical is find the local radio stations dedicated to classical and listen for what you enjoy. the ones in my area are pretty good in that if there are commercials at all, theyre very limited and you can just enjoy the music

Wagner is great man,you could also check Gustav Mahler.

thank you for the responses everyone. i had forgotten about paganini, i read about him in a led zeppelin book. got some of his stuff and im liking it

[CanibasConsumer]

Ralph Vaughan Williams
Dvorak
Prokofiev
Gustav Holst

Listen to Samuel Barber's "Adagio for Strings". He was an early 20th century American composer. When the piece reaches it's incredibly high peak, the strings sound like angel's voices, not instruments, but voices.

[rumandromanism]

Igor Stravinsky, Claude Debussy, Karlheinz Stockhausen, Olivier Messiaen, Philip Glass, Charles Ives, and Steve Reich are some of my favorites.

I'm a fan of mostly impressionist to modern classical

[NeOmega]

Gustav Holst's 'Planets' suite is fantastic. Some would say it's overrated, while others have never even heard of it. I'd give it a listen. It really puts you up there when you're lifted.

[Chaohinon]

I also forgot to mention Dane Rudyhar, very fucked up and unique, primarily string-oriented music
