Audiophile Classical cds?


Looking to broaden my classical collection. I don't really know much other than I have tended to enjoy what gets termed 'warhorses' (Beethoven and Mahler's 9th, holst - the planets) and also the more serious chamber pieces.

Need some recommendations to get things rolling. Top notch sound is a must have as I have found that it really keeps me engaged. I'd like to get a set of 15 or so must have classical audiophile cds. Any Ideas?

Cheers, Nik

Honestly, don't go for any remaster of old analogue recordings. They tend to be oversharpened and lack precision and closeness to the instruments. I just made my recommendations on my audiophile magazine website for Mahler, Bruckner and Holst and by the way Denon / Skrowaczewski also made the best Beethoven Symphony records ever.
