I didn't really do more than dabble in classical for years. Then I got "Peleas Und Melisande" by Schöenberg on CD and finally started feeling more actively interested. Now I've got a fair amount of good stuff. Schumann, Brahms, Tchaikovsky, and a bunch of things I can't remember the names of. What I've learned so far is that I tend to enjoy quartets more than full orchestra pieces and I definitely lean towards composers from between 1800 and present. I guess I really like late romantic era stuff.
