These three stand out for me:
The Brandenburg Concertos. Karl Richter and the Bach Orchestra of Munich. So many of the Brandenburger recordings are "rehearse it once and record it"-and they sound like it. BOM was together long enough that they were a true ensemble.
Mozart Symphonies 35,39,40,and 41 George Szell-Cleveland Orchestra---still THE definitive Mozart symphony recordings.
Miles Davis Quintet,cd transcription of these four lps:Steamin',Cookin',Workin',and Relaxin'. In the fifties,John Coltrane was out of the army and Miles Davis had left Julliard(he left after two year--in good standing)and a rhythm section recorded the four albums mentioned above. The songs are standards;you probably know them all. These albums are seminal---you hear the germination of things to flower.
