Re: Recommend 5 top classical recordings

Oh, but there are so many.

Here are some favorites:

Mozart, Symphonies nos. 35, 41, Haydn Symphony no. 104,. Josef Krips and René Leibowitz, Royal Philharmonic Orchestra. Reissued on Chesky CD16

Brahms, Symphony no. 4, Fritz Reiner, Royal Philharmonic Orchestra. Reissued on Chesky CD6

Smetana, “Ma Vlast“ (“My Homeland“), Antoni Wit, Polish National Radio Symphony Orchestra. Naxos 8.550931

Beethoven, "Symphonies Nos. 6 and 8," René Leibowitz, Royal Philharmonic Orchestra. Reissued on Chesky CD69

Mussorgsky, Pictures at an Exhibition, Lorin Maazel, Cleveland Orchestra. Telarc CD-80042. Not my favorite performance but a good one in spectacular sound. I don't own it, but have heard the library's copy. My favorite recording is with Ernest Ansermet and the Suisse Romande Orchestra but the sound, while quite good, is not in the same class.
