Good question, but single recordings.

Sibelius Four Legends (Danish RSO, Jensen)

Interesting that you choose Jensen in the Sibelius Legends ? I don't know that one, but see the old LP occasionally. Supposedly it's mono?

As with many great works in my youth, Decca Eclipse (great LP cover) was my introduction to the Four Legends for Orchestra by Sibelius. I was delighted when a GMG Forum member let me know that the recording was available on CD (complete with a bizarre photograph of Eduard Van Beinum struggling with a hot potato in his mouth!) I think that Jensen's recording has a unique atmosphere.

Thanks, I suppose the CD transfer has better sound, but will probably look out for the LP, as a start.
Yes, not exactly the usual, classical conductor pose :)

All I know is that I loved that LP and no other recording has quite lived up to it.
I'm going to do my own list in separate posts and my list will correspond with my "Top 50" favorite composers list:

Good idea for a thread, I'm going to see if I can find 50 recordings I like all the way through and listen to them more regularly to build up familiarity. I might have to start with 10 though and work my way up.
I don't like gigantic lists, I guess I'm alone in that. But instead of just skipping this thread entirely I thought I would share essential recordings for me when I recall them. Here are three:

Interesting to see your list, MI, what's the top of the top given just how much you purchase.
I'm not sure I'll go as high as 50. It might only be 20... really the goal is to be fairly picky so I'll focus on albums I really adore. Only not tonight as it's nearly midnight and I'm supposed to be winding down, not clicking on new threads.

I'm not sure about "top of the top" but I listed my "Top 20" first. These are all coming to desert island with me. Looking forward to seeing your own list, Madiel.
Ok, very time consuming but mostly just with compiling the pics, which I thought pretty images would be more appropriate than listing.
Thinking of the first 25 was easy, many of these have been in my collection and have been favorites for years. I have 25 more to go and maybe I'll get to posting them tonight, which is possible as many of them I already know.

Righto, here's the 30 I came up with by trawling through my collection looking for things I particularly treasure. There are a couple of 'boxes' in there that I haven't attempted to revert to their original recordings if I know them in box form. But also a couple of albums that I've "extracted" from the box. The order is pretty random.
Lord knows why Amazon puts their logo on only certain images, but whatever...

I'm going to do my own list in separate posts and my list will correspond with my "Top 50" favorite composers list:

Now for Nos. 21-50 (in correspondence with my "Top 50" favorite composers list):
I'm not surprised to find that you and I have some recordings in common, just as we did with composers! ;D There are others of your favorites that I really like: Honegger/Karajan, Hindemith/Blomstedt, Respighi/Simon, Walton/Previn, and that intense, passionate, white-hot Shostakovich 5 with Bernstein and the NYPO live from Tokyo - the only time Shosty 5 has made me tear up!
They don't necessarily match up with my favorite composers, but I came up with 30 to start:

Nice list of favorite recordings, James! Many of them could've very well made my list had I not followed my own favorite composers list to correspond with the favorite recordings list.
Here's the first 30 recordings, in no particular order; I tried not to choose boxes, except when the only recordings I knew were actually from boxes, and when it was possible, I tried to extract them.

Great stuff, Sarge! Good to see you posting again.
Agreed, an interesting list with a few agreeable surprises.
I might try to put one of these together just for fun, but fifty is a lot and I'm not sure I remember which recordings I've heard that well....
Perhaps I'll add more as I think of them.
It must be autobiographical in a sense.
-- Knonos Quartet: Black Angels. This was one of my first classical CDs, back in high school when I first decided I wanted to get into cultural stuff. This fascinated me as it was so different than what I'd expected. The main works on it, Crumb's Black Angels and Shostakovich's 8th string quartet, are still among my favorites.
-- Takemitsu: From Me Flows What You Call Time + Walton: Symphony #1 (issued by the BBC Music magazine). I'm not submitting this as a "great" recording, a judgment I'm in no position to make anyway (the Nexus recording would be the one to get for the Takemitsu work, and I could not even guess what might be a great recording of Walton's symphony), but again it's important to me as one of my first classical CDs. The Takemitsu work fascinated and mystified me, and gradually I came to love it. One of the pleasures I've enjoyed in my 20ish years of online discussion is finding other people who also love this work.
-- Mirabile Mysterium: Sacred Music of Rudolphine Prague by Duodena Cantitans on Supraphon. Another idiosyncratic choice, but this was my introduction to "early music" although I didn't realize that "early music" was a thing for quite a few more years. It's almost laughable how long it was before I found out that Luython, Handl-Gallus, Monte, and Regnart were actually pretty big deals in their time rather than just some no-names dug out of the dustbin of history. Again, maybe not a great recording, but I'm fortunate that it found its way to me.
-- Golijov: The Dreams and Prayers of Isaac the Blind by David Krakauer with Kronos Quartet. Another one of my first CDs, bought because I trusted KQ after my experience with Black Angels. I enjoyed this work almost from the beginning, but eventually I came to really love it. I've never heard another work by Golijov that affected me so much.
-- Marie Keyrouz: Chant Byzantin. Another one that fell into my hands at the right moment. This wasn't pure enough for some hardcore "more Orthodox than the Patriarch" types that I knew, and they were thrilled that I'd take this disgusting monstrosity away from them lest they have to pollute their garbage with it. (Perhaps I exaggerate, but not as much as you might think.) I loved it instantly. I hope there isn't a heaven ("to die, to sleep, no more, 'tis a consummation devoutly to be wished"), but if there is, I expect it sounds something like this.
-- Savina Yannatou Sings Manos Hadjidakis. If I haven't already been risking offense at stretching the definition of classical music so far, this will probably do it. You can call it pop music if you want and I won't argue. Anyway, I got it at a classical CD store and Hadjidakis (best know for his music for Zorba the Greek) would probably count as a classical composer by any reasonable definition. I had this a number of years without appreciating it, and then one night I woke up in the middle of the night and it was playing (I used to sleep with music on) and I listened to it for several minutes wondering what this beautiful, enchanting music was. I finally had to get out of bed to find out. From that moment on, this has been a favorite.
-- Mozart's Requiem, Karajan, the 1961 recording unremastered. Probably better put in a "normal" classical recording before going too much further. Don't want to lose my bona fides. And yet I cannot help flaunting my horrible taste. This was my first recording of this work, and though I now understand why it isn't more popular, well, it imprinted on my mind as the way I want this work to sound.
-- Chopin's Nocturnes, Rubinstein 1960s. Another case of imprinting, but this time at least some other people share my feelings!
-- Brahms's Ein deutsches Requiem by Klemperer (EMI). Sometimes I think I want the "Denn alles Fleisch" from this recording played at my funeral, but I'm not sure anyone who would come to my funeral will want to sit there that long.
-- Albeniz: Echoes of Spain by John Williams. I'll never understand why this music -- Suite española in particular -- isn't more popular.
-- Albeniz: Iberia; Granados: Goyescas -- Larrocha's 1970s recordings on Decca. I like all of Larrocha's recordings (her 1980s recording might also crack my top 50) but I think this is my favorite. Iberia is another work that I would've expected to be more popular.
-- Reich: Music for 18 Musicians, the famous ECM recording. This was an eye-opener for me and apparently for a lot of people. Reich eventually became one of my favorite composers.
-- Starker Plays Kodaly. Again, how is the sonata for solo cello not more popular?
-- Nono: Coma und ola de fuerza y luz (etc) by Pollini on DG. This was my intro to Nono, who has become one of my favorite composers.
-- Bach: Cantata 82 (Ich habe genug) on Hans Hotter's EMI Great Artists of the Century album. Forget all this HIPPI stuff, this is how 82 is supposed to sound. Don't mess with me on this. I'll fight you.
-- Rzewski: The People United Will Never Be Defeated by Drury with Quilpayun. I'm not saying Drury's performance is the best, but I like it as much as anyone else's that I've heard. This is my favorite recording of this work because it includes a recording of the original song as well.
-- Tallis: Spem in Alium by the Tallis Scholars. I hate to be this amateurish, but this really is my favorite recording of one of my favorite works.
-- Cage: Music of Changes by Henck on Wergo. Makes me sick to think you can steal this on youtube now. I won't admit what I had to do to get an acquaintance of mine to sell this to me.
-- Zelenka's Trio Sonatas by Holliger on ECM. This opened my eyes to the possibility that I was missing out on a lot of "Baroque beyond Bach," and boy was I!
-- Biber's Missa Christi Resurgentis by Manze. Speaking of which, from that fanfare on, boy oh boy.
-- Bruch's first violin concerto and Scottish Fantasy by Rosand. If you're going to play this music, you might as well pour in all the sugar you've got. Again, I'm not actually in any position to judge it technically, but to me no other recording of this music that I've heard has such pleasingly intense sweetness.
-- Kodaly: Hary Janos, Kertesz and Ustinov. I know that at least some listeners find Ustinov's performance here annoying, but I really enjoy it, and I suspect that I most enjoy precisely the elements that more serious listeners find most annoying.
-- Rzewski: Pocket Symphony, Les Moutons de Panurge, and above all his amazing work Coming Together by eighth blackbird. This is when I realized Rzewski is no one-hit wonder. I bought this because of the cover as a joke for a friend of mine who's nicknamed both Fred and Bright Sheep.
-- Janacek: Piano Works by Firkusny. Just some music I really enjoy.
-- Perotin by the Hilliard Ensemble. I'm not prepared to endorse this in any way except to say that I personally really liked it right away.
-- Weill: Die Dreigroschenoper with Lotte Lenya. For the love of Apollo, people, I do not understand why this music isn't more popular! Her recording of the Seven Deadly Sins might make the top 50 too.
-- Feldman: Three Voices for Joan LaBarbara. I am not Feldman's most enthusiastic fan, but I'm in the top ten percent, and this is my favorite recording of his music.
-- Glass: Aguas da Amazonia. I don't love Glass in general, but this one does it for me.
-- Allegri & Palestrina by The Sixteen. I love Allegri's Miserere inordinately, perhaps too much for any recording to satisfy me consistently, but this one is my favorite.
-- Canteloube: Chants d'Auvergne by Victoria de los Angeles.
-- Brahms's piano trios by Katchen, Suk, and Starker. More imprinting, I guess.
-- Shostakovich's first violin and cello concertos with Oistrakh and Rostropovich.
-- Part: Tabula Rasa, etc. by Kremer on ECM. This would've been much higher on my list once upon a time. I still enjoy it in the right mood.
-- Purcell's King Arthur by Pinnock.
-- Stockhausen's Helicopter Quartet by Arditti Quartet and, of course, some helicopters. I first heard of this work because some really classy wags were making fun of it, but when I actually heard it, I immediately liked it. It's a fantastic idea and Stockhausen made it sound really good.
-- Bach's Goldberg Variations by Staier on Harmonia Mundi. I like this so much more than any piano version I've ever heard. You might challenge me based on something I might've said about Hotter, and I would have no idea what you're talking about.
-- Borodin, Glazunov, Arensky by the Nash Ensemble.
-- Dohnanyi & Kodaly's string quartets by Guarneri Quartet.
I feel I'm getting a bit careless here and I'm running out of spots, so I'm going to slow down and think about it some more....

I might try to put one of these together just for fun, but fifty is a lot and I'm not sure I remember which recordings I've heard that well....
Perhaps I'll add more as I think of them.
It must be autobiographical in a sense.
-- Knonos Quartet: Black Angels. This was one of my first classical CDs, back in high school when I first decided I wanted to get into cultural stuff. This fascinated me as it was so different than what I'd expected. The main works on it, Crumb's Black Angels and Shostakovich's 8th string quartet, are still among my favorites.
-- Takemitsu: From Me Flows What You Call Time + Walton: Symphony #1 (issued by the BBC Music magazine). I'm not submitting this as a "great" recording, a judgment I'm in no position to make anyway (the Nexus recording would be the one to get for the Takemitsu work, and I could not even guess what might be a great recording of Walton's symphony), but again it's important to me as one of my first classical CDs. The Takemitsu work fascinated and mystified me, and gradually I came to love it. One of the pleasures I've enjoyed in my 20ish years of online discussion is finding other people who also love this work.
-- Mirabile Mysterium: Sacred Music of Rudolphine Prague by Duodena Cantitans on Supraphon. Another idiosyncratic choice, but this was my introduction to "early music" although I didn't realize that "early music" was a thing for quite a few more years. It's almost laughable how long it was before I found out that Luython, Handl-Gallus, Monte, and Regnart were actually pretty big deals in their time rather than just some no-names dug out of the dustbin of history. Again, maybe not a great recording, but I'm fortunate that it found its way to me.
-- Golijov: The Dreams and Prayers of Isaac the Blind by David Krakauer with Kronos Quartet. Another one of my first CDs, bought because I trusted KQ after my experience with Black Angels.

Yes that is one for the ages, good to see I'm not alone in loving that recording. Hotter really delivers an exceptional performance.
I'm adding another one to my very short list:

I could make a very interesting listening list out of this thread.
Admittedly there have been a few recordings mentioned that I know I don't like. But there are more that I know I do, and a heck of a lot more that I don't think I've heard.

Lovely, Greg. Again, many of these could be favorites of mine as well. I'm going to have to give a listen to Rostropovich recording of Shostakovich's 11th. I'll queue it up next. 8)

Yes, indeed. I wish you were my sister rather than the one I was birthed with and I wish I was joking. ;) If I lived in Italy, we would have to figure out ways we could see more Wagner and Schoenberg concerts. :D
Very kind. ;) It would have been great, but unfortunately in Italy Wagner and Schoenberg haven't been performed as much as I would like. :(

That's okay as you and I would make pilgrimages to Austria and Germany whenever both had the opportunity. 8) I imagine seeing Zemlinsky in concert would prove difficult however.

Nice list, James!
The Schoenfield disc on Argo is superb. Ditto the Alfven by Svetlanov (he also recorded Alfven's 2nd symphony, a terrific performance IMO).
I should have added the Canteloube disc of Netania Davrath, but I'm already over limit :laugh:

Dumky trio but have fallen in love with the concerto performance. I almost added Queyras' disc of Haydn cello concertos to my list, another great one.

Great lists,
James. The Mahler is an all-timer for me, and when I made my list I had a two in mind from Poulenc, although neither made the final cut, but this one on Naxos was one of them! Great choice :)

Indeed! The best performance I've ever heard. The way the timpani comes thundering in during that first climatic moment is something else and I've never heard this part played like this on any other recording.

I haven't listened yet. MAYBE tonight or it might be some time. I went looking for information about good performances of the concerto and Queyras' name came up more consistently than any other similarly modern recording.
I also know I like Queyras (my own list includes his Bach cello suites).
Heck, Queyras and Faust and Melnikov all seem to be top-notch so I'm half inclined to spend some time exploring all the things they've done together.
