Totally agree that Bach is not easy at all. Same about Shostakovich. But try listening Bach's WTC or Shostakovich's first violin concerto for a few times and you'll get addicted! I had a period of about a month when I couldn't listen anything but Shostakovich's violin concerto. Over and over again! It's really deep.
And yes, I also recommend things like Chopin or Vivaldi for the beginning. Beethoven's piano sonatas are also a good start.
