I've been listening to Satie's three Sarabandes and the ballets Adventures of Mercury and Parade over and over lately. I think I'm slipping into a period of desire for classical music and am open to suggestions (and offer the pieces above as suggestions of my own to anyone who might be moving into a similar phase).

I only have one CD of Satie's piano music.  It goes from sweet and light ( the Gymnopedies ) to some kinda strange stuff.

Suggestion: Debussy's Nocturnes?

I'd recommend Bach, Mozart or Beethoven (7th and Opera Concerto).
Also, Pergoleisi is rather fine.
Chopin too.
They are all fairly accessible as classical goes, and you have the optins of going for straight symphonies, polonaises or operas with them.

This disc, particularly the bits by Milhaud, has also been getting a lot of attention lately. I dig the French I guess...
