I am far from being a highbrow but can appreciate some classical pieces
live or on a good audio system. My deceased German friend was big into
classical music and was also a true audiophile. He introduced me to a
piece (on CD) that he brought over to my house specifically for me to
hear on electrostatic speakers. It ****es me off because I can't
remember what it was for the life of me. I think it was by Bach and it
contained sections of brass that gave you goosebumps when played on the
electrostatics. I think it had a "9" in the title and I've tried
hunting for it with no success. Shoulda played more attention.

Bach wrote 6 Brandenburg Concertos, all of which are highly listenable
by just about anyone, and many contain some really nice Baroque brass
pieces.

I enjoy Baroque pieces written and recorded for organ and horn. Love
hearing a big old pipe organ along with a clean trumpet or English horn.
The electrostatic speakers reproduced the horns very realistically while
the 18" Velodyne servo driven sub rattled the dishes in the kitchen
reproducing the organ bass pedals.
