    Quite a few classical fans are coming out of the woodwork ... is there interest in a Classical Music section on AOS? I think one would be good.

    Here are 4 of my best sounding classical LPs.
    ... wonderful performances, as well.

    Yep - that Shossie 10th is superb, Jerry. I mentioned it just a few posts ago.

    As for Symphonie Fantastique, I've always liked the Colin Davis interpretations. This one is good:

    Mahler Symphony No. 8 - Solti, Chicago SO, Decca [vinyl & CD]
    Magnificent performance and recording, although even Decca's engineers were at the limit capturing the choir at full tilt. The LP set makes a better fist of the enormous crescendos although the CD captures the full majesty of the lowest organ pedals.

    Some of my favorite Mahler recordings are Haitink's Sym No 1 & Bruno Walter's Sym No 2, Both excellent recordings. I also like the earlier Colin Davis Symphonie Fantastique with the LSO.

    The Hungaraton Hayden box set is very nice. The quality of recording always seem to be very good on that label.

    Yup - I'm a big fan of many eastern European / Soviet recordings - whilst sometimes lacking subtlety, they can have an immediacy and tonal richness that many more obviously "audiophile" recordings from the West lack.

    Here's a few more from my collection ...



    Elgar's violin concerto - played by Igor Oistrakh! - it's wonderful!!
