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.

My recommedation is go buy some used vinyl and listen
for yourself. It's cheap. Buy 5 recordings of the 9th
and enjoy 'em all. You'll find your favorite, or like
me, have 2 or even 3 favorites! You can even sell back
the ones you didn't care for and buy some Mussorgsky,
Chopin or more Beethoven (yes, he did write fuer Elise)

OK - these are my favs of the 9th.
Fritz Reiner's, Chicago Symphony, RCA.
Sir Georg Solti, Chicago Symphony, London.
Herbert von Karajan, Berlin Philharmonic, Deutsche Gramaphon
