I have been thinking about adding some classical music to my growing DVD music collection. Can somebody recommend something?

I know next to nothing about classical music but I did d/l the 1st free symphony from the above link and it sounds pretty darn good. Lots of dynamics and energy. Things I would like to have would be widescreen and DD 5.1 or DTS to show off my new Plasma and Ascend based surround sound system. The only thing I know I don't like is opera. Sorry, but it is just not to my liking. I do have Sarah Brightman La Luna which I enjoy because of her voice and mix of music.
Thanks.

Oops...I was going to reply to recommend some CDs, but saw that you wanted classical DVDs...can't help that there, but Dvorak's New World Symphony is one of my favorites if you're into very dynamic, exciting classical music.

The Telarc label is a pretty good place to look.
