Any reccomendations? I'm fairly new to the genre, but I'd like to listen to something more unusual, and not over-used. Also, this is going a bit off subject, but in the soundtrack for the movie 'Spanglish' or perhaps if any of you have seen it, in the scene where he's cooking, they're playing a very beautiful piece. Anything similar to that would be fantastic. Thanks in advance. :)

Classical music isn't a monolithic genre like hip hop or heavy metal. the term represents a broad array of musical forms that expand over a thousand + year period of human history.
Therefore there is no singular form or style.
To get started, try to find Leonard Bernstein's young peoples series of recordings. Even if you are an adult, they will be educational.
Also listen to "peter and the wolf" again aimed for children but a good listen. I still enjoy it after thirty plus years after having first heard it.
The try your hand at the great masters, Bach, Mozart, Beethoven, Haydn, Handel, Vivaldi, to name but a very few
After that listen to Stravinsky, Copeland, Barber, and Schubert, Brahms.
Then take a listen to opera, Bizet's Carmen is a great start.
After that the world is your oyster

Any symphony by Beethoven is great. Try his 7th and the 2nd movement. Bach is good. Handel's Messiah is nice too, it sounds like christmas music-well it is. A few things by Mozart, but he's not deep enough for me. Try the Moonlight, Appassionata, and Hammerklavier sonatas all by Beethoven.

i do not understand if the college training were in charge for the subliminal footprints, yet even although i'm predominantly an exponent of the rock type... i'm able to not help yet splice my scales with the abnormal gothic melody. Who placed the Bach contained in the Bachman Turner Overdrive...? Oh, and yet another element you jogged my memory of... Ooze bin Chopin Moat’s heart? I really have a magic metronome in the back of my center eye It is acquainted with which p.c.. my poem needs Conducts my words as they bypass with information from. “not so quickly!” it right now reins in. “p.c.. it up on the decrease back, earlier we initiate.” “uncomplicated….uncomplicated…on my say you waiting words? let’s play Then out comes this cacophony (faraway from a verbal symphony.) in favor of a précis, to be precise Like a backward soundtrack from Miami Vice. yet at the same time as the perfect time signature Has left its autograph I do exactly a wee little bit of juggling And with slightly of success, develop amusing? (I’ll settle for a grin in 7/8 time!)

Go for something light.
Vivaldi is nearly everyones favorite. 'The Four Seasons' is a very popular piece of his though he has also produced a lot of other exellent works.
Bach is heavier but interesting to listen to. Brandenbourg concherto is popular though again he produced so much stuff its difficult to know where to begin.

I think it might be useful to check out some Internet radio stations on classical music. www.accuradio.com has lots of free internet radio stations.
