Rachmaninoff Symp No. 2-Andre Previn, Royal Philharmonic Orch. CD, Telarc Label.
Awsome. Just like the Moodies, don`t get tired of it.
PMM, you may want to try the Rach piano concerto's on London with Ashkenazy.They are wonderful pressings of wonderful music.

Also just got a Harmonia box set of Purcell's opera "King Arthur", with The Arthur Deller Consort.This is a wonderful and sometimes funny piece,and the recording is amazing. These Harmonia Mundi/France pressings are some of the best.

I talk to the wind, Court of the Crimson King, King Crimson
Watermark, Enya
On the turning away, A momentary lapse of reason, Pink Floyd.

You ask for three I believe. These three choices have moved me
and provoked me.
