I drive a lot for work.  Usually it's just the radio that plays in the car but occasionally I go far enough that I'm too far for good reception with my usual stations.  that leaves me hunting for something to listen to since I refuse to subscribe to Sirius XM.

A friend let me borrow a violin music CD (sorry don't remember the title) for one of those trips.  It was perfect and it got me to thinking about having a CD or 2 of my own to play in those situations.  Which has got me looking for a CD or 2 of classical pieces to stuff into my CD player ready to go when there's nothing on the radio.

 

What CDs would you recommend for someone new to classical music while driving?  I don't mind orchestral pieces or violin solos but would hate piano and guitar solos.  A good mix of solo strings and orchestra would be perfect.

I don’t know if they still sell them, but I always (meaning back into my teens) enjoyed the album series “Classical Music for people who hate classical music”. I never hated it, the albums just had a good selection on them, especially for driving. 

Edit to add: this is one that I have that is on Amazon:
