The best way for me to answer that is to list some of the works that inspired my interest in classical music. In some cases, I have listed the recording that first grabbed me; in others I list recordings I now find preferable.Beethoven 5th and 7th Symphonies - Carlos Keliber DG
Mozart Clarinet Quintet/Schubert Trout Quintet - Music from Marboro, Sony
Chopin Ballades and Scherzos - Rubinstein RCA/BMG
Bach Brandenburg Concertos - Harnoncourt - Teldec(?) Actually I no longer own this recording, but I don't have a favorite set of Brandenburgs and the Harnoncourt was my the first version I heard. Also, this is a bit of cheat as a complete set of Brandenburgs requires two disks.
Bartok Concerto for Orchestra/Mussorgsky Pictures at an Exhibition - Solti & Chicago Symphony Orchestra. London - This recording was chosen for the pairing. I'm not sure if it's still available. You could also consider Fritz Reiner's versions of the same two works with the same orchestra, but these are on separate disks.
