[Overture for Killing Bugs]

This is a typical, naive question to a new group.  I just thought
I'd be the first to ask.
    I would appreciate a (short) list of the best recordings for
    introducing someone to classical music.  I would appreciate 
    it if the list was kept to <10 items.
This isn't necessarily easy since the pieces must be sufficiently
attractive to a neophyte to grab and hold their interest.  Beethoven's
Choral and his Emperor Concerto are good starts (recognizable and
"classy").  

I am willing to summarize if there are enough responses.
