Default Building a Classical Music Library (My Version)

Inspired by Mahler's excellent series of both holiday music and workout music, I've decided to put up a thread of my own regarding classical music recordings. These are recordings of works that are either basic or unusual repertoire (e.g., Beethoven's 9th Symphony or Torke's Adjustable Wrench) that feature (what I consider to be) excellent performances. That said, sound quality and technical skill will generally take a back seat to a less polished, but more involving (older?/historic?) recording. Please feel free to comment on the works selected or more particularly if you have or acquire the recording I mention.
