My favorite classical recordings

Sonata Pathetique played by Valentina Lisitsa

Adagio in Cm by Albinoni played by Alexander Hrustevich (bayan -- solo)

Rhapsody in Blue conducted by Leonard Bernstein (had been my all-time classical favorite record where on the other side is American In Paris on 6-eye Columbia label) 

El Dia Que Me Quieras -- played by Juanjo Dominguez (guitar) and Diego El Cigala (vocal)

Muerte Del Anjel -- played by Astor Piazzolla also same like to hear with guitar of Juanjo Dominguez 

Requerdos del AlHambra (Tarrega) played by Brandon Acker

El Cholco (Villodo) played by Yamandu Costa

Take Five -- played by George Benson on guitar.

P.S. I've started relating famous jazz and tango compositions and songs to classics

Very nice list!

Lisitsa is growing into her own.  Not just a glamor girl.

Julian Bream's "The Woods So Wild."

I am only into 20th century classical, almost exclusively music from post WWII, to the present, which I know not everyone's cup of tea, but I will certainly take part in this thread.

I'll start with the recording that really spurred my interest in classical music.

Ernst Krenek - Static and Ecstatic / Kitharaulos

Not only do I love this from a musical standpoint, but the vinyl recording has a large, deep, open soundstage. It is one of those soundstages, that can fool you into thinking you can walk among the the musicians.

There is also a much more recent recording of this piece by the Cleveland Orchestra.

Classical: Almost any version of Antonio Vivaldi’s The Four Seasons and Bach’s harpsichord concertos.

Performer: Tangerine Dream. Favorite album-Force Majeure
