Mozart Piano Concertos 20 & 27; Clifford Curzon with the English Chamber Orchestra conducted by Benjamin Britten. For the Holst, I would listen to John Elliot Gardiner / Philharmonia Orchestra. (Sounds great too!) Shostakovich 10th, Herbert Von Karajan / Berlin. Dvorak Cello Concerto; Rostropovich/Von Karajan, Berlin with Tchaikovsky Rococo Variations . Stravinsky, Rite of Spring; Ben Zander; Boston Philharmonic. (Sounds great too!) For chamber music, anything by the Beaux Arts Trio. Beethoven Cello Sonatas, Rostropovich/Richter Compete 5 piano concertos by Saint-Saens, Pascal Roge, Montreal/Charles Dutoit Rachmaninov 2nd Piano Concerto, Ashkenazy piano; London Symphony/Previn. 1972 on London/Decca (careful; there are others).

I listed one Curzon, but like them all. Rcprince: The bass drum probably did resonated more in the Meyerhoff at that time. They have changed the hall some since then for Temirkanov, including putting the orchestra on stands that go higher as you go back. They were all on the floor under Zinman. I know the Timpanist well, and he sais the Timpani does not resonate as it did before the stands.
