I have a list of my favourite music on my blog: theviolinhouse.blogspot.com. Well, that says it... I play the violin.
Hector Berlioz: Symphonie Fantastique
Mousorgsky: Pictures in an Exhibition
Beethoven: Symphony No.6 "Pastorale" (the whole of it)
Beethoven: Symphony No.9 "Chorale" (only the 4th movement if you run out of patience)
Wagner Overtures: Tanhausser, Flying Dutchman, Die Meistersinger
Richard Strauss: Don Juan
Tchaikovsky: Nutcracker ballet suite (selection, highlights)
Rimsky-Korsakov: Sheherazade
I trust these should get you started. All are quite melodious, with catchy tunes. If they are not "complex" enough for you, I can come up with more later.
