HELP Classically ignorant, need vinyl insight

Getting back into vinyl after 20+ years and need some advice. I just purchased a TT and now I need records to play on it. I'd like to start my vinyl collection with "classical" but I'm clueless as to were to begin. I need help on what albums and composers to look for. I do like the following:

1. French horn music
2. String music
3. Melancholy music, the type that makes your bones ache.
4. Conan the Barbarian music. You know the kind that makes you want to get on your horse and impale someone.

Any and all suggestions most welcome. By the way, I wasn't sure if I should post this here or in "music". I chose this as I only wanted TT advocates advice.

Also I need to get record cleaning supplies, what do I need and where can I get it?
Thanks.

"Have you heard Woody Allen's comment about Wagner. He said he loved the music, but every time he heard it, he wanted to rush off and invade Poland".

Had I not just swallowed my coffee I would have spewed it all over the screen!

Thanks to all who have responded, it is very much appreciated.

I was watching Samurai Jack last night when one of the characters appears with bagpipes. I forgot how much I love the pipes.
Yes I admit that I watch cartoons, which gives (some) credence to my mother-in-laws low opinion of me, but I figure any cartoon that features bagpipes is pretty high-brow.
Anyway, I'm looking for suggestions for great bagpipes on vinyl.

Thanks again to all who have responded, I've started w/your suggestions.
