... music is such a personal experience I'll desist. Logan, in his post below, put it all into perspective very succintly.That said I guess that in general terms I'm on the side of sound quality rather than an old superb performance. Note I said "in general terms" - not absolutely as there are notable exceptions.
If you are just into exploring the superb choices in the classical field I suggest you try a few samplers. OR, there is an excellent set (and they are good performances) in an Australian set available on the net - see the link below. This way you can see what your present taste is and explore along those lines. It might well start off with Beethoven, Mozart, Tchaikovsky, Grieg etc but, if you are like the rest of us, you will explore other composers.
David has some good modern works recommended and they might take your fancy but my take is you would be better off zeroing in on the old masters first. Once you have established what is to your liking then, as suggested below, some net research will point you in the right direction. "The Gramophone" and "BBC Music" magazines are good pointers but even better, IMO, is the Penguin Guide.
Good hunting and welcome to the wonderful world of classical music.

Do not criticise the idiots in this world - we need them as they make the rest of us look so much better :-)
