Sorry these two are MONO but best in my opinion for overall sets.Jochum, BPO DG (DG Originals, avail USA, and elsewhere, cheaper in UK than USA) 2 CD's
Walter NYPO Sony UK and USA. In UK, 2CD's for price of one CD. Avail online at UK retailers. Sold at higher prices in USA various labels.
I have listened to a lot of sets. Many good ones including Solti CSO, Bohm VPO, and Kertesz VPO. There are individual performances that are great IMO: #1 Ozawa BSO DG Japan, Levine RCA -- Out of print?. #2 Beecham RPO, #4 Kleiber VPO, and Reiner on Chesky.
Thanks
