Classical music recordings upgrade

I have Beethoven's 9 symphonies by CSO with Solti at the helm on London recordings. Great performance, dreadful analog to digial transfer. Need suggestions for better recordings of this material. CSO is my favorite, but will listen to other orchestras. Thanks.

Abbado with Berlin is always good, Harnoncourt with European Chamber Orchestra is brilliant for modern recordings. Reiner/ Chicago you cannot go wrong with. And IMO, the best is Furtwangler with Vienna(?) live at the Salzburg festival but you'll have to deal with the recording quality.
