Hi, Tubegroover, Detlof, Rcprince; may I also recommend the Quator Altis version of 14 on Sony (the version is based on the original text -- so, differs slightly from the others).
Can't seem to find the RCA version of the #15 on catalogue...
Re, Beethoven cycles: there are two of Furtwangler's versions of the 9th (1951 Bayreuth & '54 Philarmonia Orch.) I find very moving. Also a 3rd by Furt: 1944, Vienna Phil.
Khrys: interesting tip about Parsifal/Thielemann. You also might want to consider Klemperer's version of same (EMI).
Cheers!
