I second the people who advised against limiting yourself to the standard repertoire (baroque, classical, and romantic periods). Stretch out and explore the wonderful music composed before and after those eras. Some references:
1) Norton/Grove Concise Encyclopedia of Music
2) Gramophone (http://www.gramophone.co.uk/) (somewhat conservative)
3) If you get the Rhapsody internet music service, they have nice little essays about genres and composers.
