First, people here should know that Chris (vinylphanatic) is an Everest expert of the first rank from whom one can learn much.
Two more:
Vaughan Williams Symphony No. 9, Boult/London Philharmonic. The composer died the night before recording began, and Boult begins with a heartfelt spoken tribute. He had already recorded the first eight symphonies in mono for Decca, but stereo makes a big difference in this music.
Villa Lobos Uirapuru, Modinha, Prokofiev Cinderella Suite, Stokowski/Stadium Symphony (aka NY Philharmonic). Villa Lobos and Stokowski were important parts of the Everest classical series, here very effectively together. The Prokofiev Suite is one arranged by Stokowski himself, also very effectively.
Two triple plays: great music, insightful performances, and audiophile sound as good as you'll find from the late 50s.
