Best CLASSICAL Compact Discs?

Thanks folks, this is exactly what I was looking for. Here are a few I have found so far: Schubert, 8th and 9th Symphonies, Karajan, EMI Classics 66105; Haydn, Cello Concertos 1&2, Rostropovich, EMI Classics 67263; Liszt, Sacred Music Transcriptions, Thompson, Naxos 8.553659. These are not sonic masterpieces, just good recordings of great music and excellent performances. Regards...Dan

No, my tastes are pretty eclectic, and I like to explore new interpretations of classic works. Just interested in the CD's you think are a good investment by virtue of both musical content and quality of recording. I do remember reading a thread whose author suggested that recordings produced in the last 5 years or so are generally superior to those previous.
