Basic Repertoire or flogging a dead horse

Not much interest in the thread I initiated on coming up with a basic repertoire of audiophile quality cds and lps of orchestral music. Maybe this shows the importance attributed to music over equipment on 'Agon. Maybe everybody is away on vacation. Maybe I am barking up the wrong tree. Maybe the kids simply don't like me... Oh well. As a first (and maybe last) instalment of this thing, does anyone care to suggest the best of the following:

BACH:
Brandenburg Concertos
Suites for Orchestra

BARBER:
Adagio for Strings

BARTOK:
Concerto for Orchestra

At least I tried!

Good day.

Pbb, per harp we are music lovers and not performance reviewer? Some of us mostly me, lacks music education to be able to criticize/judge a performance. Secondly, when We/I go to the record store, we just pick the record, which is carry by the store (limited) at that particular time, and not necessary pick a same record with different label the next time. Fanfare is sometime a luxury, or troublesome, you know? Which is why I post, what I posted, last time. Good day. :-)
