Another box set of the Beethoven symphonies I have and like is that by Karl Böhm, conducting the Weiner Philharmoniker:

That’s where I find classical tricky, you might find a composition that you like but sometimes get put off by an odd interpretation in how it’s performed. I suppose it’s the one musical performance is everything, but some blues and jazz fans could also seek the perfect performance of a song or piece.
I will see if the version is available at a reasonable price.

Since it was released in 1970, the recording could well be part of the box set I mentioned earlier.
Picked this up a few days ago in a charity shop for £1, along with a few others, and it is gorgeous musically, lovely stuff!!
