No mention of Solti's interpretation of Mahler's 8th on the London label?
I am shocked!

Recommendations for a few high SQ classical CDs
For Mahler: Ivan Fischer, Budapest Festival Orchestra from Channel Classics or Ricardo Chailly, Royal Concertgebouw Amsterdam, Decca. For Beethoven: Osmo Vanska, Minnesota Orchestra, BIS Records. For Dvorak: Nicholas Harnoncourt, RCO, Teldec or Leonard Bernstein, NYPO from Sony Classical. There are also reference interpretations! |
thanks guys for all the great suggestions. i have a reasonably large (500 or so) of classical cds and there are many above that i need to look into. my suggestion for an outstanding recording both performance wise and SQ wise is this cd: https://www.amazon.com/Stravinsky-Rite-Spring-Petrushka-Igor/dp/B004QI1556/ref=sr_1_20?s=music&i... |
Decca issued a big box with a nicely varied selection of music from their catalog, The Decca Sound: https://www.amazon.com/Decca-Sound-50-Box-Set/dp/B018FCVK8U IMO only one real clunker here: I cannot abide Ute Lemper's mannerisms in her Kurt Weill disc. YMMV. But that's a really good batting average for a box like this. |
