The single disc I'd recommend anyone listens to, if they ever listen to one recording of music, is the following:




But the single disc I'd save from my own house if it were burning, is this one:




I'm cheating, I know. But the former is etched so deeply into my memory that I don't need the disc all that much, anymore; whereas the latter I relish listening to! Especially given what it stands for, and the way it "speaks" to me every time...

(Though truth be told, the Bruckner 8th by the same orchestra and conductor would not be far behind. But now I'm digressing.  )

It's quite good, actually. Though I'm generally not much of a fan of the composer, I'll admit.

Bernstein with NYPO, Orchestre de Paris, London Symphony Orchestra, Orchester des Kirow-Theatres Leningrad, Staatskapelle Dresden, Symphonie-Orchester Bayerischen Rundfunks.

Ode to Freedom. Just get it for the historical value, especially if you have experienced the Berlin Wall fall event yourself in Germany. It makes you cry...in pure joy.

I've slammed this recording so many times around here that I've not the will to do it once more. But please, hear Sinopoli and the Czech Philharmonic on DG before settling for this one.

This 3-disc set.   

If only a single disc is allowed, I would choose Disc No. 1, with the two Haydn concertos.
