Classical lp dilemma - recommendations, please


I'd like to buy the best quality recordings of beethoven's 9th, moonlight sonata, chopin's fur elise, and anything mussorgsky, but i'm new to buying classical lps. There are loads of recordings of each and i'm not sure which are quality and which aren't. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Without going into the specific records you are looking or, I have been most impressed with the following re-issues in classical music (on LP--for us that aren't dinasour's too)
1. Classic Records (particularly the 45 RPM versions)
2. Klavier
3. King Analog
Classic Records sells direct (and has a decent sale going on now) The other 2 are available through Cisco. There are of course the usual outlets for many of these such as Acoustic Sounds, Music Direct, and Red Trumpet but they may not stock the full catalog at all times.
