DL, since you're into SACD, let me suggest the one that I got recently although I don't have a player. I got it for the CD layer and an excellent performance of Tchaikovsky's great ballet. I also played the SACD layer on a colleague's player and it's fine. It's available at a very good price at Tower so, I'll add it to those items in my previous reply.
I'm not very heavily into Mozart, but I do have Symphony 40 in a collection that has a fine performance along with Serenades and Overtures. The price is even better now, in fact remarkably low .

Enjoy the music, not the equipment.

Oh, and Ken if you'd like a CD of the revised version of the Beethoven 9th(at the suggestion of Mozart, Beethoven removed the scraping chair passage from the 1st movement), try this .

Beethoven received advice from dead people?

It was during a seance, Adam(very good, Adam; just kidding around to see who would pick up on that little point).

"... i got NO classicla music in my collection.. NONE.. and it aint cause i dont like it, i just never knew where to begin. its not like you can turn on a radio, and go, "hey, i really like that symphony.. i think i will go buy it"... "
You can't just listen to the radio and say "hey I really like that"??? The radio is where I get a lot of my ideas for purchases. True you often have to go to the stations webpage - but all that takes is a computer and an internet or two.
Interesting thread. I am really into classical music now - but I don't like ANY symphonies - so far anyway. I don't know what it is - maybe I can't appreciate so many instruments at one time?
I do like most Baroque chamber music and classical period chamber music. Haven't ventured much beyond those two categories (except for the well reviewed symphonies that I ended up not liking).
I listened to the SACD version of Bach's orchestral suites (I think the name is right) by the Boston Baroque Orchestra
- highly reviewed but boring to me. I do like their Brandenburg discs - I suppose that is the only full orchestra piece I like.
I pretty much read the penguin Classical CD guide and listen to the radio to get my tips. Can't go too far wrong if it gets a Rosetta.
By the way - anyone want to buy an almost complete set of Beethoven's Symphonies by Abbado on DVD-audio?
