Famous and favorite recordings


Hello everyone,

I am a pretty new classical music lover, initiated mostly by my 8 years old son who is playing piano. For him and for me, I am kindly asking yu to help me with your recomandations. Please enumerate those famous (or your favorite) recordings, that will be an unmatched synergy between composition, conducting (if it is the case) and interpratation. I hope you understand what I mean - there are those strange magic irepetable moments when such things are happening (especially in music).

Thank you very much

PS If it will be easier for you, please post a link.

Pictures at an Exhibition - Reiner and the CSO (I love the sound of the new SACD)

Beethoven Symphonies 5 and 7 - Carlos Kleiber and the VPO

Bach Two and Three Part Inventions - Schiff

Schubert's Trout Quintet and Mozart's Clarinet Quintet - Music from Marboro

Regarding The Trout I wish I could recommend the British TV film of the 1969 live performance by Jacqueline Du Pre, Daniel Barenbohm, Itzak Perlman, Pichas Zuckerman and Zubin Mehta, but it seems out of print. It's not the most polished performance, but the joie de vivre of the artists and the music makes as good an introduction to classical music as I can imagine.
