Familiar entry points would be: Arthur Rubenstein's Chopin, particularly the nocturnes. This is soulful Chopin before it was played as a sport. Glen Gould's interpretation of Bach's Goldberg Variations. Nigel Kennedy's Vivaldi's Four Seasons - and then Max Richter's recomposition, it's really worth it. Mozart's Requiem - any performance. it's huge. Same with Handel's Coronation Anthem: Zadok the Priest. Personally, I put a CD of Alan Mearns' Bach (Sei Solo Works) in my car player about year ago and haven't ejected it since, but guitar and Bach are one of my vices. If you are interested in what's happened since, check out the "Not Quite Classical" spotify playlist as well. It's all new, but you can hear the influences and then track down the roots.
