Duard Van Beinum conducts Brahms Symphony #2. Concertgebouw Orchestra of Amsterdam. Epic 1954 mono.
Ormandy conducts Wagner - Parsifal. The Philadelphia Orchestra. Columbia Masterworks 1956 mono
Karajan conducts Brahms Symphony #1. Vienna Philharmonic. RCA Victor Red Seal (Shaded Dog) 1959 mono

incredible.
You can't go wrong with Colombia Masterworks and RCA Red Seal mono.

I’m tellin ya, I really didn’t think I could enjoy mono as much as I have this evening. A decent mono set-up, and good recordings, can rival (some) stereo. Usually I want to move on and dig back into the stereo selections, but this has been fun.
