where to find Pachelbel"s canon?


I have several variations of this piece on cd. However, even the one in which I would consider to be the "best in my collection" still falls short by many aspects of what I'd call "audiophile". Is it possible that someone can give me at list of recomendations pertaining to this piece?

Happy Listening

Agree with Rcprince's recommendation of the Tafelmusik Baroque Orchestra performance on Reference Recordings.

Also well recorded is the Boughton/English Chamber Orchestra recording on Nimbus NI 7019, which might be another option. It is coupled with some very nice performances of Holst, Albinoni, Warlock, Grieg and Barber. The acoustic is somewhat reverberant in typical Nimbus style (which some like and others do not), but the recording and the performances otherwise are quite excellent.
