Classical Music LPs recommendations


Hello again,

Im just getting into classical music as i build my music collection.
Can anyone here share some good classical lps.
I prefer something that won't make me fall asleep.

Something with big, dynamic sound like:

the classical music section from Thorens 125 anniv album
Massenet: Ballet Music from Le Cid
Cantate Domino.

Not much into piano. The recording has to be quite good and the music has to be exciting. Re-issue Lps would be fine as the original are quite dear.

would appreciate some inputs. Some friends have recommended:

Ataulfo Argenta / Espana!
John Lanchbery / Herold: La Fille Mal Gardee
Ernest Ansermet / The Royal Ballet/ Gala Performances
Donald Johanos / Rachmaninoff: Symphonic Dances & Vocalise
Fritz Reiner / Rimsky-Korsakov: Scheherazade

Thanks in advance.

Buy a few of the ones recommended above, listen, and tell us what you like. Then we can offer more suggestions in line with what you've liked.
Any more suggestions.
Dvorak Symphony #9, Chicago Symphony with Carlo Maria Giulini on Deutsche Grammophon is a great recording.
Try gemm,com You may find many of these recordings at fair prices.The re-issues vary.My preference falls toward the "originals",when possible.YMMV.
Other than acoustic sounds, musicdirect and audiophileusa, any other place were we can buy these LPs cheaper ?

thank you for the inputs
Elusivedisc.com is another excellent resource. But all will price the in print reissues similarly. One can watch for specials (sales) which are offered from time to time.
