    And The Well-Tempered Clavier! "The Old Testament of Music" :p

    I'm really into later stuff, late 19th/20th Century, I'd highly recommend some of that stuff too.
    Stravinsky's The Firebird and The Rite of Spring (ballet suites)
    Górecki's 3rd Symphony 'Symphony of Sorrowful Songs'.
    Debussy's Arabesques and Nocturnes.
    Rachmaninoff's 2nd and 3rd Piano Concertos.
    Messiaen's Quartet for the End of Time.
