The BBC guide is quite nice -- so is the OLD Gramophone (i.e. from until ~15yrs ago). ALthough the latter will not have the latest recordings, I find the comments consistent. Not so, in the later versions.
If you read french: "Le Guide Diapason" (out of print, but available) is invaluable IMO, so is the "Guide des Indispensables" also out of print, but often available. It''s amazing that some people (in France) went to great lengths to produce superb guides -- and then just abandoned the product!
