Duh Duh Duh Durrhh!
Seriously, does anybody really need to see that you have several Mozart CDs, right next to your Beethoven CDs and a couple of Pavarotti/Three Tenors CDs? Did you buy them from a number on the television? Did you buy them because you felt that you ought to have them in the house, much like a copy of The Complete Works of Shakespeare? Well, you don't.
Seriously, if you're going to bother having classical music in your collection, I think a similar policy with jazz has to take hold. It is fine to have Beethoven and Mozart in one's collection but not just those. Why not try Telemann, Schubert, Debussy, Gorecki, Grieg, or Purcell?
Opera operates on a similar level, but should be full operas not greatest hits. I think Bizet and Puccini are nice things to have but are by no means essential.
