For easier listening, I would recommend the Dresden Dolls-self titled album (i think) if you haven't heard of them yet.

A female vocalist+keyboardist (majorly pianist actually) with a male drummer.
Simple but decent music they make, in my opinion.

Then again, if you can stand a little bit of metal growls, there's an album that I would really like you to check out: Velvet Darkness they Fear by Theatre of Tragedy.

They are a metal band, blending a gorgeous female classical-style voice and a black/death metal-like growling voice. But their songs have nothing to do with black/deah metal, instead the lyrics are usually written in old English verses forms, I think, which reminds me some of Shakespeare-style writing (all you Shakespeare lovers, please forgive my ignorance. That's the closest description I can think of at the moment). So nothing about glorifying cannibalism or satanism (not like I have anything against death/black metal).
Also a heavy influence of classical music can be heard- the use of various instruments besides the band-essential guitars, bass, keys and drums.

Sorry for the maybe confusing desriptions- still in the process of improving my English :-\
