Stanford Complete Symphonies
Conducted by Vernon Handley
Sounds like Brahms with an irish accent. Like it a lot as a change of pace from the unrelentingly strange and angular modern music I've been listening to lately (Steve Reigh, Philip Glass, Alfred Schnittke)
Wagner - The Ring
Conducted by George Solti
THE classic set, and in very recently remastered sound. Haven't listened to it yet (as a 4 opera, 14 CD set, once you start it a real commitment to finish). Very excited to have picked this one up.
