lately i've been listening to Andras Schiff's Wigmore Hall Lecture/Recital of Beethoven's Complete Piano Sonatas. he breaks them all down chronologically and it's insightful, funny, and beautiful to listen to.
i recommend it to anyone. Beethoven reverer or not. In fact, it'll make you love him more than you already did because you'll understand him better.

also, Mozart's Piano Concertos and German Dances
Chopin's Mazurkas and Preludes
and Haydn's Piano Sonatas.
i just recently fell in love with the piano again and am getting back into classical music. i want to listen to much more.
only problem is i'm not that huge a fan of the Romantic composers, only if they're extremely melodic,
which you will find in some composers cracks (no pun intended) but overall i'm a Classical/Baroque man. but anyway haha.
