You cannot, and should not, continue existing without Glenn Gould doing JS Bach's Goldberg variations. You should also get the same doing the Art of Fugue.
They say Mozart is meant to the be the one that's good for the brain. If opera seems like the thing for you, I can't recommend Giulini's rendering of Don Giovanni enough. If not, then try some of the quartets - the Franz Schubert Quartet have done a few of the mid-period ones which I'd recommend (KV #s 464, 465, 499 ('Hoffmeister'), 575)
You should get a complete set of Beethoven symphonies as well. I personally think Karajan's complete set is worth it, but there's a lot to be said for what I've heard of Furtwangler, Toscanini or Solti.
I'll leave it there by let me know if you want more recommendations.
Don't bother with Xenakis unless you like unerringly impossible music. I'm trying to play a solo violin piece of his at the moment and it's just a total cunt.
