Beethoven 9th symphony, Cluytens, Berlin philharmonic... LP .. Quite slow but wonderfully powerful and rhythmic first movement , fast and exciting 2nd, smoothly flowing slow mvt, quite a frisky finale. I really enjoyed this.
Beethoven 6th symphony, Karajan 1977, Berlin philharmonic.... LP... This has fairly poor reputation as a performance but I think it is excellent, quite fast but very exciting!

Wagner - Organ Fireworks - Hansjörg Albrecht
Surround sound SACD. You can surely imagine how this could be quite tasteless, but Albrecht is remarkably restrained in these Wagner lollipop transcriptions. The Parsifal and Tristan und Isolde being marvellously ethereal.
Gilbert and Sullivan, Patience DVD
Joly Braga Santos 2nd symphony
LP - superb!

A bit of a Beethoven 9th symphony binge for me yesterday ....

-- superb first 3 movements, but the choral finale got a bit squally and raucous with somewhat distorted sound. But the finale is a bit of a rumpty-tump crowd-pleaser when played with Stokowski's over-exuberance, anyway.
Then ....

Wow, wonderful performance and recording.
