Classical music newbie needs your suggestions

I purchased around 300 like new classical albums last summer. Music from a wide range of composers. I also purchased around the same amount of operas. (I may sell those).

I’m finally retired and able to pursue a lifelong desire to understand and enjoy classical music.

Pieces that move you to tears, or pluck heart strings. Your all time favorites.
The albums you’d take to that desert island.
Any suggestions are welcome.

I've got an update concerning my Jones for Prokofiev's Third Piano Concerto. Try the performance by Marta Argerich on piano and Claudio Abbado conducting the Berlin Phil. Modern sound. Anger, energy and spirit to spare.

Dear edcyn , I agree Marta Argerich is excellent. She's one of my favorites.

Took Music Appreciation 101 while at community college decades ago where, among other music, we studied Mozart's Symphony #40 in G minor as mentioned above. It is still one of my favorite pieces of music all these years later.

I highly recommend sitting in on a class.
