The term "sinfonia" was originally used as a sort of synonym for an Overture or a ricercar during the Baroque Era. (Antonio Salieri actually still used it that way well into the Classical Era) It gradually became customary to compose sinfonias in 3 movements, fast-slow-fast, similar to a concerto without a soloist. Franz Josef Haydn, known as the Father of the Symphony, popularized the most commonly recognized 4 movement format by adding a scherzo with trio movement after the slow movement. This format is by no means a rule, however. Many composers, especially in the Romantic Era, expanded and altered the symphony. Beethoven's 6th, for instance, is in 5 movements and his 9th introduced the concept of a "Choral" symphony.
Try Beethoven's 6th Symphony.
"...larger and larger symphonies, cantatas and so on, with more and more movements, increased performing forces, and a longer (sometimes much longer) total time span. For example, Hector Berlioz's symphony "Romeo and Juliet" of 1839 lasts for nearly an hour and a half." (from: LISTEN - 6th edition)

The Beethoven 6th is probably the most melodic, the 5th is a bit darker (the classic Da Da Da DAAAAA opening). The Beethoven 9th has the choral finale you've heard a million times (the "Ode to Joy"). Some critics called Brahm's 1st the Beethoven 10th, as he continued that musical school; the Schubert is a lot like the Brahms.The Rachmaninov, Copland, Tchaikovsky and Dvorak are "noisier" with more brass and cymbals. They are great pieces for demonstrating your sound system. If you are not paying attention, they will go from zero to thundering in a second and make you jump. If you like percussion, these are the pieces for you. They are not background music.The Bruckner and Sibelius pieces are best described as "majestic" with horns over strings, generally slower paced, building to gigantic climactic moments. If you like french horns, these are the pieces for you.The Rachmaninov #2 and Bruckner #7 are heart-stoppingly beautiful, with gorgeous use of strings. If looking for classical background music, Beethoven's 6th is probably your best choice. The others will distract at points when they get going.If you are surfing for particular movements or highlights from the pieces, check out the following (symphony # and movement #) - Bruckner 7/1; Sibelius 5/3; Beethoven 6/1; Tchaikovsky 4/1; Dvorak 9/1; Copland 2/4; Rachmaninov 2/2&3. Some of the great moments in classical music are in these sections. You can find excerpts on youtube.
All of Beethoven's symphonies were given numbers as names. Some, however were given titles too. For example, the 3rd symphony was named the 'Eroica' Symphony and the 6th symphony was named the 'Pastoral' symphony.
