classical newbie

Can anyone recommend some recent great, essential classical cd/sacd recordings? I like vinyl but not for this. Multi-disc collections would be great too. I realize there are older threads about this but I would like the best digital versions. If that means the latest re-master, mix etc, great. If not, which are the must haves regardless of release date? Thanks.

Thanks again for the advice/suggestions Jetrexpro!

I found these on amazon. Are either of these the box set?

And if not which are the masses that are NOT included in your above recommendation so I know what to look for if I buy that 2 cd set.

Do you know if this recording would complete the set of Masses? Please forgive my ignorance.

Classical the hightest form?

I think so! And to my ear Bach is the greatest composer.

Can anyone recommend the best recordings of Bach's work?

Thanks

Could you post a link to the 4 cd set of the Masses conducted by Philippe Herrewghe? I've been unable to find it on amazon. Thanks again!
