Chabrier - Ansermet on London (Also on a Merc Living Presence by Paray if you like Merc's).
Carmen Suite #1 Beecham on EMI. And for something different and something I greatly prefer is the Shchedrin rescoring of the work for strings and 47 precussion instruments. I like Schwarz and the LA Chamber Orchestra.
Elgar - Enigma Variations - Andrew Davis & the BBC SO on Teldec
Britten - YPGTTO - Andrew Davis - Teldec
Rimsky-Korsakov - Cappriccio Espagna - Jarvi - Chandos Get the entire set of suites they are outstanding.
Bernstein - Candide - Eiji Oue and the Minnesota Orchestra on Reference Recording, or for something with more common Bernstein pieces added on Slatkin and the Saint Louis Orchestra on EMI.
Orff - Caarmina Burana - Ozawa and the Boston SO or Shaw on Telarc.
Hope that helps a bit.
