Second to the right then straight on till morning
I often listen to classical music, mainly to chill out when it's been a particular difficult day. I began to listen to Vaughan Williams through his re-working of English folk songs and Edward Elgar as I find his compositions uplifting and "majestic".

A few I'd recommend:

Vaughan Williams -

A Pastoral Symphony
Fantasia On A Theme by Thomas Tallis
Fantasia on Greensleeves
English Folksong Suite
The Lark Ascending

Edward Elgar -

Enigma Variations
Serenade For Strings
Violin Concerto
Cello Concerto

I have Enigma Variations and some of Elgar's other suites, his cello concerto is good too.

I have...7 Vaughan Williams CD's I think, but I haven't played them enough to pick a favorite yet Jeffrey.

Nice to have another classical fan in the house.:grinthumb

Add me too. I have quite a classical collection, somewhere dotted about. When you've got Vinyl/Cassette/CD, sometimes storage becomes an issue.
Check out RVW's Tuba Concerto if you get chance, the 2nd mvt's quite something. :)

I have this cd. It's wonderful! Jacqueline Du Pré was an extraordinary cellist.
