Dvorak Complete Symphonies: Neumann/Czech Phil on Supraphon
I don't listen to 1-3 much, though. You could get Rowicki's twofer of 4-6 and the twofer of Szell's 7-9.
For Mahler, the Bertini is a very strong set.
For Bruckner, there are the two Jochum sets, the first on DG with Bavarian RSO and Berlin SO, and the second on EMI or Brilliant Classics with the Dresden Staatskapelle. Not everyone responds to Jochum's flexible tempi. Skrowaczewski's is an excellent modern set, and he includes "0" and "00". Here's a listing of complete sets.
The only complete Shostakovich I have is Kondrashin on Aulos, which has compromised sound on some of the recordings (nothing that really bothers me much but YMMV). I've heard great things about the Kitayenko on Capriccio SACDs, Jansons on EMI, and Barshai on Brilliant Classics.
I do have the Kitayenko Prokofiev set, and that is the set to get now. He includes both versions of Symphony No. 4.
