This is not the way the cogniscenti would suggest it, but I would look at some 'classical hits' type playlists. These tend to give you a variety of fairly melodic and easy to grasp excerpts from longer pieces.

Find some that take your fancy and then listen to the whole piece, to see if you like that. Rinse and repeat.

Oh and Holst's The Planets is a nice varied introduction to things with some rip-roaring tunes and interesting orchestral effects. Try that.
