In no particular order...... Both performance and sound......

Debussy "La Mer" Boulez/Cleveland/Deutsche Grammophon CD
Berlioz "Symphonie Fantastique" Solti/Chicago/Columbia LP
Mussorgsky/Ravel "Pictures at an Exhibition" Maazel/Cleveland/Telarc LP
Rachmaninoff Concerto 3 Horowitz/Ormandy/NYPO/RCA LP
Wagner "Karajan Conducts Wagner"..... Karajan/Berlin Phil/Angel LP (45 RPM)

Note that I'd likely give a different set if asked one week or one month later.......
