I would also say the 62 Karajan and the 70's Karajan, but the only incarnations of those Karajan sets I'd recommend are the latest blu-ray re-masterings (Dolby Atmos in the case of the 70's Karajan - what an incredible transformation of what had been mediocre sound! See Kal's description of Dolby Atmos in the latest Stereophile.)
