Which CDs would you buy if Santa gave you $100?

[longears]

Dear friend, I need your help.  I'm the Minister of Finance in a small but rich and corrupt  (Whoops, wrong venue.)

Santa gave me $100 and commanded me to spend it on classical CDs.  What would you suggest? 

[karlhenning]

Well, Santa made me a similar proposition. And what I did buy was:

Kubelik / Berliner Philharmoniker / Dvořák / The Nine Symphonies



.

Mackerras / Janáček / The Operas



.

Bryden Thomson / RSNO / Martinů / Complete Symphonies

So you don't need to transfer funds from Nigeria?

I would buy some of the box sets that are languishing on my wishlist.

[Keemun]

Here's my list. 

[Parpar]

I'll tell you after I've decided what to buy with my $100 from Santa. I thought it was a lot of money until I saw how expensive certain recordings I'm looking for are. Maybe I will go on a budget reissue spree or something.

[MN Dave]

Personally, I'd go for the Kempff 50s LvB sonatas, which I still haven't gotten around to acquiring.

[springrite]

Well, Santa told me I was over the age limit. So I borrowed $50 from my unborn son and decided to go for the Vanska complete Sibelius symphonies.

Oh, you and Dubya . . . .

[Dancing Divertimentian]

For bang for your buck this Bach/Herreweghe "4-fer" is worth considering.

[BorisG]

Thank you Santa. I will pay the difference if necessary.

[Dancing Divertimentian]

For take no prisoners/high dollar there's this OOP Brahms/Juilliard beauty. Worth every penny...

[Grazioso]

Brilliant complete Mozart edition:

[Bogey]

I would make them all selections of music you do not already have David.  No repeats by other performers.  Use your hundred to venture into the unknown a bit.  That way if you do land a dud, then hey, it was a gift!

Wisdom!

I'm givin' you pearls here, son.

[Bogey]

Whoo-ah.

[karlhenning]

Oh, uh, Charlie - about your little problem - there are two kinds of people in this world: those who stand up and face the music, and those who run for cover. Cover is better.

[Haffner]

Solti's performance of Der Ring Des Nibelungen. In a heartbeat. That way I could really start working my way toward Sarge's mindblowing collection.
