Reference Level Recording of Classical on CD's?


Hello, I just set up a pretty good digital system. Now I am looking for some good quality CD's to enjoy. I am into classical, all difference styles and periods, from solo piano, chamber to full orchestral stuff. Please make some recomandations.

By the way, I stumbled upon Richard Goode's Beethoven sonata set, beautiful playing to go with excellent recording. Check it out if you haven't.

The Mahler cycle by the SF Symphony with Michael Tilson Thomas conducting is pretty darn stunning in CD and SACD. The dynamic range is around 40dB and the orchestral colors are accurate and well captured. Mahler's 1st is probably the easiest for newbies to Mahler.
