What would you recommend to someone who has never listened

I would advise against starting off with the classical era unless it's Mozart's Requeim (not that recording though) and Beethoven's 5th and 6th symphonies (all very accessible). The music in that era valued symmetry, form, and pleasantness which makes it seem "boring" to people who don't listen to classical music.
Start with Chopin

I'd unironically recommend something like pic related. It is easy listening, it will be quite a few tunes you already know and a lot more of a similar style. Short and bite sized, no long symphonies etc. You can move on to full works and more variety later.

listen to teh Brandenburg Concertos
they got me into classical music, the 3rd and 6th Brandenburg Concertos really have a rock band feel to them because they're exclusively strings + a harpsichord and they were the first ones I heard

even after having listened to much more, they're still some of my favorite classical music

I'm really liking his stuff.

honestly, I think getting a big V/A compilation album is the best bet.
You wouldn't give a shit reading up theory and about composers when you can just play this and get into stuff that you'd enjoy more

mozart symphonies or sonatas. melodic, pleasant, music that you don't have to focus on to enjoy. fuck symmetry-anon, it's practically pop music
