I agree with Steven Radtke's comments - the "human touch" is certainly the best
way to interest someone in classical music.  There is something about a live
performance that brings out the best in artists - read Brendel's article in
the May "High Fidelity" and makes a newcomer feel comfortable.
One excellent way to get someone's feet wet in the classics is to take them
to a Boston Pops Concert (or something similar if you don't live in New England)
If you can't get to a live concert - then recordings are the next best thing.
