I don't think we're ever going to find anyone to do Classical or Country/Folk because of the lack of interest.

Classical wouldn't be that difficult to do lucifer_sam,,,it has made a remarkable comeback in recent years due to the downloading phenomenon, people that only wanted certain sections of their favorite pieces can now just take them instead of a complete work. And the CD versions are so much better than the albums simply because of the recording quality, no more pops, clicks etc. to interfere with the quiet passages. I still have some priceless vinyl copies, but have replaced my whole library with CD versions now.
The sheer scale of the classical period is daunting at first, but you could simply start with Bach as the giant of the Baroque period, then move into the prime time interval with the giants of the field, Mozart, Beethoven, Tchaikovsky etc. and finish with Shostakovich/Stravinsky/Rachmaninoff. Then UberFilmBuff could add the modern composers whose music was predominantly used in films and that brings us right up to date. Just a thought, this introduction thread is a very good idea.
Of course having Seltzer involved in this would add the gravitas necessary to get more people to actually check it out.
