If you're asking for the best composers, well, in my book:

Beethoven
Brahms
Mozart
Chopin
Rachmaninov
Tchaikovsky
Any of the Strauss Waltzes (Richard and Johannes Strauss)
Debussy
Schubert
Bach
Handel (esp. if you can find it in Brass)
Haydn

Hope this gets you started, at least. If you're looking for orchestras, always go with the Philharmonic ones (they're the ones who put more life into the music), such as the London Philharmonic Orchestra or the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra. Boston Pops is great as well...if you can find CD's of when dear Arthur Fiedler conducted for them. The man was a genius, God rest him. [img]smile.gif[/img]
