Which of those recordings do you think a person should listen to most? You can vote based on your own preferences and experiences, based on which ones you'd like to hear most, which ones look most interesting to you, or whatever.

Vote for as many as you like. 

This kind of thing helps me a lot, so I thank in advance everyone who takes time to vote!

I will attach images of the cover art in posts below.

My vote was for the Miaskovsky Cello Concerto and not the Prokofiev Sinfonia Concertante which is one of my least favourite works by Prokofiev.

As I read this, though, you could still like the Op.125 a good deal  0:)

There is only one op.125 and it's not by a Russian composer.
