Suggestions:

Philip Glass – The Photographer
Philip Glass- Glassworks
Philip Glass – Music With Changing Parts
I also like Phillip Glass after somebody gave me a copy of his album
'Violin Concerto;Prelude & Dance from Akhnaten' which I thoroughly enjoyed.

I am just ,for the first time, properly exploring classical music as I have a few family members who are really into classical,
I recentley got Leonard Bernstein's adaption of Robert Schumann's 'Symphonie No.1 'Spring' Piano Concerto' cd which I really enjoyed.

Also my mum gave me a live album by German violinist Yehudi Menuhin called 'Brahms Violin Concerto' which was recorded in 1943.
I particularly liked around track 6 where he does a solo piece on the violin.

What I have noticed early on is that I've really taken to the avant-garde side of things such as the aforementioned Phillip Glass & others such as Glenn Branca or Rhys Chatham.
As for the 'proper' classical music, I have a preference for piano based artists, several of which I have been researching and have found a few on download: Category:Classical pianists - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
Also I much prefer the concerto side of things. (Although I probably haven't heard enough to make a proper judgement yet)
So any recommendations based on what Ive heard so far?
P.S. I will check out the PG albums you mentioned in your post
