classical newbie

Can anyone recommend some recent great, essential classical cd/sacd recordings? I like vinyl but not for this. Multi-disc collections would be great too. I realize there are older threads about this but I would like the best digital versions. If that means the latest re-master, mix etc, great. If not, which are the must haves regardless of release date? Thanks.

I do alot of CD and vinyl shopping on amazon. Also many of these performances are available to listen to and research on Youtube.

Jetrexpro -

Could you post a link to the 4 cd set of the Masses conducted by Philippe Herrewghe? I've been unable to find it on amazon. Thanks again!

This is the two CD set which contains only four of them:
BWV 233, 234 235 and 236. There are a bunch more of these great masses in my 4 CD set, but they are not showing up on Amazon. They should show up for sale at some point. In the mean time listen to all of them on YouTube.

Type "Philippe Herrewghe bach masses" in youtube search and a bunch of things come up including his recording of the mass in B minor.
