I am surprised that I haven't seen anybody mention Schubert.  Among the
most wonderful pieces of music that I have ever listened to, my
favorite piece (although very many others come extremely close) is
Schubert's Quintet in C (no, not the Trout).  Others include (but are
not limited to):
Fantasia on a Theme of Thomas Tallis (Vaughn Williams)
the "Emperor" piano concerto (Beethoven)
Violin Concerto (Ysaye)
"American" string quartet (Dvorak)
"Kreutzer" sonate (Beethoven)
Rite Of Spring (Stravinsky)
Scherezade (Rimsy-Korsakov)
Violin Concerto (Sibelius)
Missa Solemnis (Beethoven)
Symphony Fantastique (Berlioz)
Double Concerto in D minor (Bach)
St. Matthew Passion (Bach)
Ave Maria (Schubert)

I can't think of any more offhand,  but anyone who likes can start off
with these.
