I think the earlier Decca mono ones were better in
interpretation but not sound quality. EMI were at
their peak around then, I have a copy of Barbirolli
conducting Mahler's 6th which has wonderful, alas I
longer like Mahler much.

Interesting that so many of the members of the list
like classical and romantic music, my interest in
classical music developped in parallel with that in
progressive rock, I wonder if people who like
progressive rock music are more likely to like
classical music?
