Classical Music for Aficionados

I would like to start a thread, similar to Orpheus’ jazz site, for lovers of classical music.
I will list some of my favorite recordings, CDs as well as LP’s. While good sound is not a prime requisite, it will be a consideration.
  Classical music lovers please feel free to add to my lists.
Discussion of musical and recording issues will be welcome.

I’ll start with a list of CDs.  Records to follow in a later post.

Berlioz: Symphonie Fantastique.  Chesky  — Royal Phil. Orch.  Freccia, conductor.
Mahler:  Des Knaben Wunderhorn.  Vanguard Classics — Vienna Festival Orch. Prohaska, conductor.
Prokofiev:  Scythian Suite et. al.  DG  — Chicago Symphony  Abbado, conductor.
Brahms: Symphony #1.  Chesky — London Symph. Orch.  Horenstein, conductor.
Stravinsky: L’Histoire du Soldat. HDTT — Ars Nova.  Mandell, conductor.
Rachmaninoff: Symphonic Dances. Analogue Productions. — Dallas Symph Orch. Johanos, cond.
Respighi: Roman Festivals et. al. Chesky — Royal Phil. Orch. Freccia, conductor.

All of the above happen to be great sounding recordings, but, as I said, sonics is not a prerequisite.

I only am Schubert because of the first time I heard of this and needed
something . While looking for that all I saw was R & R titles
and thought these misguided fools need some class.

Wish I just chose Harry or Herman the German .

If you want a fabulous Schubert lieder outing this is the best I know .
Brryn Terrful on DG 445 294-2GHHard to believe the Great Welchman could turn German but that
fabulous voice can do anything .

I doubt if one can be found ,but who knows

rok . Would it be free trade if a firm was told what they could do or say
by the Congress under threat of blackmail or punishment ?

Terfel is great, no doubt.  I have always liked him.  What do you think of Wright?
