what a fun question. I am so glad you asked. I will attempt not to get into anything technical. I just love classic music so much.
Know there several times a typs asociated with the lay-persons discription of classical. I will give you a few in each because you will eventualy learn on your own the differances. As well the discovery will be fun. The best things to look at are:
J.S. Bach. Listen to any thing. At your level just get a best of or variable cd.
Mozart. He is the master in my opinon. Some highlights are piano concerto 21,22 E flat major, the Requeim mass is undiscribable. It is difficult to know were to start with operas, Marrige of Figaro, Don G, and Magic Flute. Those are the most popular start with them and move forward. Any of his concertos for violin, flute, realy you can get anyting and can't go wrong.
Betovin. Opera Fedelio. Great. Sorry about the spelling but it is his only opera so it should not be hard to find. The 9th symphony is a must for any one but like mozart any thing you pick will be good. Piano concerto quite nice. You name it.
Rachmaniniov. Piano works are my favoite. Concertos 2, 3, and Smphony 3.
Gershwin. Porge and Bess. Any and all piano works.
Ravel. Piano!!
Bernstien. Candiede.
Sondhiem. A little night music. Into the Woods. Sunday in the Park with George.
Phillip Glass. Koyaniskasie
Arvo Part. Smphony 3. Lamentate. Great stuff.
Thats kind of a taste of some of the inovaters and eras but it is by no means complete. It is a place to start. Others that are great:
Copland: Apilation Spring, Liszt, Mendal, Strauss, Rosinie, DeBuse, Phillip Glass, Danney Elfman, John Williams, Jerry Goldsmith, Hanz Zimmer, Bernard Herman, Alex North, ..... The list goes on and on. And these are just the popular ones. There are great new comers and unsung heros. You will find them as you begin to explore this wonderful area of music.
Good Luck. Sorry if the spelling is bad I am Blind and go off a gut feeling. Thanks.

Listen to:
Rachmaninoff
Beethoven
Bach
Those are my three favorites.
Be sure and find Piano Concerto #5 by Beethoven. It is absolutely beautiful.
Of course, His Fifth Symphony is also one of the finest.
If you like the song, Joy, then check out The Best of Bach.
Everything Rachmaninoff does is haunting and beautiful. Remember the song by Eric Carmen "All by myself?" The tune is taken from one of Rachmaninoff's songs. Also "Never Gonna Fall In Love Again." Same thing.
Good Luck.

Andrea Bocelli. Absolutely phenominal! He is an Italian singer, writer, and music producer. He is both an operatic tenor and a classical crossover singer. To date, he has recorded four complete operas — La Bohème, Il Trovatore, Werther and Tosca — in addition to various classical and pop albums. Definitely check out his music.

Go right now and get Glenn Gould's 1955 recording of Bach's Goldberg Variations. Then get his 1981 version. You can watch this. Just type in Glenn Gould go to wikapedia scroll just over half way down to where it says MEDIA then click on the video of The Goldberg Varitions.Fantastic.
