A "definitive" recording is one which the composer has either conducted or approved of another conductor's work. The guy/gal that wrote the music should have the final say on what is "definitive". That means that there are no definitive recordings of anything from the classical and romantic periods because all of those composers were long gone before recordings were a reality. This is not the case for 20th century composers. For example, Stravinsky regarded many of Robert Craft's recordings of his music as "definitive". If Igor said so then it is so. But, the question remains, are they the "best" recordings. Of course that is a whole 'nother kettle of fish because "best" is thoroughly subjective.
