Your number one is definitely Dvorak Cello Concerto with Casals. This is a rarity. Everest's right to this record was contested by Casals's wife after his death, so not many copies were sold. I've seen this record going for $200 on eBay.Others are not so valuable, but they are great music. Landowska WTC is my favorite, I believe it is the most well-thought and profound interpretation of the Bach's masterpiece cycle. The best LP editions were the earliest "oxblood" or later shaded dog. Sibelius concerto with Gitlis/Horenstein is remarkable for both violin playing and orchestral part; for me, Gitlis is the best violinist that I've ever heard. It is so unfortunate that there are only very few of his records. I like Fanfares for the King's Supper - one of the best performances of trumpet baroque.
Beethoven's Triple Concerto with Kondrashin is a curiosity. Bruno was a label that issued a number of records pirated from broadcasts.
