My recommendations:

Classic HDAD 2016 Khachaturian, Gayne Ballet Suite
Classic HDAD 2033 Villa Lobos, Ginastera
Classic HDAD 2025 Tchaikovsky, Symphony No. 5
Classic HDAD 2018 Shostakovich, Sym. No. 9 & Prokofiev, Lt. Kije
Classic HDAD 2015 Respighi, The Pines of Rome & The Fountains of Rome

The above are the best of the Everest reissues. I have them all. The Villa Lobos "The Little Train of the Caipira" on 2033 is a must to listen to.

Classic HDAD 2002 Songs of the Auvergne

This is the famous Vanguard recording and sounds superb. The Everest reissues also sound great. However, there are a few pitch sags on the Everest recordings. Search for "Everest" on this forum and you will find my comments and responses of others on this problem and on the sound and performance quality. In most cases pitch deviations are of very short duration (a second or two, sometimes almost not noticeable.

I pre-ordered the 24/192kHz Krips recordings of the Beethoven Symphonies. Classic Records cancelled the release. I believe the HDAD reissues will be going out of print. It's smart to buy them now.
