Beyond his R. Strauss, Bartok, Respighi, and Rimsky-Korsakov offerings, Reiner left some fine performances of the German romantic repertoire, including one of the best performances of Beethoven's 6th symphony I know of. It's affectionate and lyrical where it needs to be. And there is an exciting performance of Beethoven's 7th.
I don't know of a better performance of the Brahms Piano Concerto 2 than Gilels/Reiner/Chicago. It's much more dynamic than the later Gilels recording with Jochum. Then there is the Brahms Sym 4 with the Royal Philharmonic.
There are fine stereo recordings of Mozart 41 and Haydn 88, too. Also Rossini overtures.
I don't like his charmless Strauss waltzes, but the cover, which includes this pic of a Hitler wannabe, is good for a laugh:
