Widor Mass Opus 36 (JAV Recordings)
(Probably the most compelling and life-like recording I heard, ever. Delicate but powerful to the core-sustained notes below 25 HZ) See comments at: http://www.sa-cd.net/showtitle/3509

Concerto for Double Bass and Orchestra (Opus 3)
Wonderfully recorded and top tier muscianship like all Opus 3 recordings I have encountered

Music for Organ, Brass, and Timpani
(especially the Bach and Handel) (Sonoma Label)

Bartok’s Concerto for Orchestra (Sony)

Carl Nielsen’s Symphony #5 (Telarc)

Prokofiev: Alexander Nevsky Sony

Poulenc Concerto For Organ (Linn)
(I like the Barber “Toccata Festiva” on this disc even more)

Mahler Symphony # 6 Zander (Telarc)

Mahler Symphony #6 Fischer (Channel Classics)

Sibelius Symphony #2 (Telarc)
(My standard for a recording for back to front depth and layering)

Shifting Landscapes (CCnC)

Bach E. Power Biggs (Sony)
This features a "real" "Toccata and Fugue"

Ravel Skrowaczewski, Minnesota Orchestra Mobile Fidelity
I'm surprised this is not mentioned more even among 2 two channel "purists". The recording and performances are outstanding the the surround is among the best available that I have heard.

Elgar "In the South" and Symphony #2 Chandos
You do need to *really* turn the volume up. See comments at SA-CD.net

Dupre: "The Stations of the Cross" JAV Recordings
Do not be deterred by the religious or sacred orgins of this music. for organ. This is music for the soul if there was ever. I will be submitting some comments to SA-CD. net on this master piece

While they are not "true" multi-channel but are instead 3 channel, I also include any number of RCA Living Stereos including George Gershwin’s “Rhapsody in Blue”, Rimsky-Korsakov’s “Sheherazade”, the "Moussorgsky" and a host of others too numerous to single out.
