where to find Pachelbel"s canon?


I have several variations of this piece on cd. However, even the one in which I would consider to be the "best in my collection" still falls short by many aspects of what I'd call "audiophile". Is it possible that someone can give me at list of recomendations pertaining to this piece?

Happy Listening

Pachelbel's Canon can be found playing on repeat in the darkest pits of hell. Oh, and it's being played by 10-year-old violin students.

The horror... (too many years of violin lessons for me)
The "audiophile" version of this piece (which includes the Gigue that follows it and brings it out of the elevator to hell mentioned by our two friends who are sick of it (not without good reason)) would be the Reference Recordings Taffelmusik disc, which sounds best in its analog splendor on 45 rpm vinyl but also is available as a two-CD remastered set with a Helicon Ensemble Bach CD (I think RR calls it Baroque Favorites or something like that--check their website). If you can't get the vinyl, or only get CDs, get the remastered version--the original CD is nothing like the vinyl, it sounds like they made a CD because they had to, but really didn't want to; the remastered version, which is probably HDCD encoded, is a lot better. Performance is good, a little fast and light, but it works. I also like the Archiv recording with Trevor Pinnock and the English Concert, but its sonics aren't up to the RR standards. Other than those performances, I've long since given away my other recordings of this work; these stand out as the best I've heard, and have a good mix of other Baroque music with them.
