Widor Mass Opus 36 (JAV Recordings)
(Probably the most compelling and life-like recording I heard, ever. Delicate but powerful to the core-sustained notes below 25 HZ) See comments at: http://www.sa-cd.net/showtitle/3509Concerto for Double Bass and Orchestra (Opus 3)
Wonderfully recorded and top tier muscianship like all Opus 3 recordings I have encounteredMusic for Organ, Brass, and Timpani
(especially the Bach and Handel) (Sonoma Label)
Bartok’s Concerto for Orchestra (Sony)
Carl Nielsen’s Symphony #5 (Telarc)
Prokofiev: Alexander Nevsky SonyPoulenc Concerto For Organ (Linn)
(I like the Barber “Toccata Festiva” on this disc even more)
Mahler Symphony # 6 Zander (Telarc)Mahler Symphony #6 Fischer (Channel Classics)
Sibelius Symphony #2 (Telarc)
(My standard for a recording for back to front depth and layering)
Shifting Landscapes (CCnC)Bach E. Power Biggs (Sony)
This features a "real" "Toccata and Fugue"Ravel Skrowaczewski, Minnesota Orchestra Mobile Fidelity
I'm surprised this is not mentioned more even among 2 two channel "purists". The recording and performances are outstanding the the surround is among the best available that I have heard.Elgar "In the South" and Symphony #2 Chandos
You do need to *really* turn the volume up. See comments at SA-CD.netDupre: "The Stations of the Cross" JAV Recordings
Do not be deterred by the religious or sacred orgins of this music. for organ. This is music for the soul if there was ever. I will be submitting some comments to SA-CD. net on this master pieceWhile they are not "true" multi-channel but are instead 3 channel, I also include any number of RCA Living Stereos including George Gershwin’s “Rhapsody in Blue”, Rimsky-Korsakov’s “Sheherazade”, the "Moussorgsky" and a host of others too numerous to single out.

I'd have to include at least one or two of those into my best list. I do plan to purchase those you have listed in the near future that I don't already have. I'm assuming that you may have at least a few of the MTT/SFS recordings so I may in for quite the sonic treat while I listen to some of the ones you listed.If I remember correctly, Teresa also does not list any of the MTT/SFS recordings in her top classical list for sound quality. I want to purchase some of those on her list also I that don't have. I need to note however that she listens in stereo only.
Yes, I have several of them and they are all quite good. I certainly respect the opinion of those who prefer the MTT/SFS Mahler recordings to the Telarc. To me the interpretations, while certainly different are similar enough; neither wanders far from the norm. So, for me, it boils down to visceral sonics. (Let's face it this is what Mahler was attempting to convey in the 6th). And this is where Telarc excels if you are willing to let all the ponies out of the barn at speed. For example, in two channel or multi-channel the Telarc 6th simply has a scarier, more decadent slam quality like you experience live. The MTT/SFS Mahler 6th seems to have this too.... until you hear the Zander.And in multi-channel Telarc simply does it better.
Listening to Mahler is a 90 minute time investment. Most often, not always, when faced with the choice I go with Zander over MTT.
