To this list I would add the new Mahler 2nd with Fischer on Channel Classics, which, along with the Mahler 6th from the same forces, is absolutely stunning in all ways. It easily bests the Slatkin Mahler 2nd that I had listed.There's also a newish recording of Liszt solo piano works on Avie with Markus Groh that's sensational as well.
And, there's been much talk here recently of the new Beethoven symphony cycle with Haitink on LSO Live. I love the performances (especially of nos. 5, 7, and 9), which are performed with great intensity and urgency, and recorded with immediate and often startling impact.
