The Ring. Wagner. Solti. VPO. Decca.
Bruckner #8. von Karajan. VPO. DG.
Beethoven Symphonies. Barenboim. BSK. Teldec.
Mahler Symphonies. Bernstein. VPO. DG.
Beethoven Piano Sonata. Kovacevich. EMI.

Look at Classicstoday website for good reviews. For a magazine, consider Fanfare. Also, look at Google group rec.music.classical.recordings.

So much good stuff, so little time. Good luck.
