I will keep Markevitch, and replace the other four:
1 Horenstein (best interpretation of the Dvorak New World)
2 Monteux
3 Fricsay (did not live long enough to record much on LP)
4 Kondrashin
Runners-up:
Klemperer, Bohm, Boult
Follow Ups:
For a man who died as young as he did (late 40s), he left a significant recorded legacy, including a many of the Beethoven symphonies and other Beethoven (Fidelio, Triple Concerto, others), Mozart (including several of the operas), Bartok (many consider his interpretations of be at or near the top),Brahms, Wagner, Dvorak, Tchaikovsky, Stravinsky and many others. He was very much one of DG's key conductors up to the time of his death -during much of that time, Karajan recorded chiefly for EMI and Fricsay was probably DG's leading star. I can't think of another DG conductor who made as made recordings as did Fricsay in the 50's, both mono and stereo.DG's complete Fricsay edition (Vol I and II) - fills 82 CDs. All of these recordings were originally on LP, so I suspect Fricsay made well over 100 LPs during his career.
Completely agree with your of inclusion of him as a top conductor on LP.

I'll replace Horenstein with Munch, and keep the other four (ed.: nah, I'm replacing Kondrashin with Cluytens too). For your runners up, I'll replace Klemperer with van Beinum.
