I'm going to limit my choices to recordings of recent vintage. You can assume that all of the recommendations will meet all three of your criteria.
First, I'd recommend all of Fabio Luisi's recordings on Sony with the Staatskapelle Dresden. Especially noteworthy are the Strauss Don Quixote and 4 Last songs. In those recordings he captures the lyrical beauty of Richard Strauss in a way that only Rudolph Kempe has done previously. Also I recommend Luisi's Bruckner 9th symphony. I own a bunch of Bruckner 9's, and have heard plenty more, and I think this one is head and shoulders above them all. Luisi has ended his relationship with the Dresden Orchestra, and I fear we will have no more of these extraordinary performances. If not, what a pity. Keep your eyes open for these recordings as they seem to sell pretty quickly and go on backorder.
I also very much like Till Fellner's recording of the Beethoven piano concerto's 4 & 5 on ECM. I've always loved Beethoven's 1st and 4th, but I never really loved the 5th until I heard this one. Now I can't get enough.
Try Hillary Hahn's Brahms violin concerto on Sony. Its my favorite version of my favorite violin concerto.
Finally, try the Queyras account if the Dvorak Cello concerto on Harmonia Mundi Happy listening!
