I will agree with the above poster on the Beethoven recordings. They are the best in terms of the performance.
There is simply no SUBSTITUTE.
I would like to add that it is available on "The Originals" series by DG # 447 400-2GOR.
As far as Dvorak Symphony 9 goes, there are few excellent choices. The most well known I suppose is on London/Decca with maestro Kertesz grand performance and high-quality sound perhaps best all around. Another great one is
Kurt Masur on Apex #8573-89085-2 (could be hard to find). However, my favorite is on Chesky CD #31 (most under appreciated) with Jascha Horenstein, just awesome performance and big, airy sound. No adjective could be wasted in trying to capture, in words this music.
There are few NEW releases by JVC XRCD and from my previous experience, I believe that they are SUPERB. I will be getting them in near future.
I hope that it helps, enjoy it
