I treated myself to Schubert's D887 Quartet from the Diogenes. Top performance and sound.

Vaughan Williams. Symphony No.8
The Hallé under Sir Mark Elder.
My parents had a 45rpm record of the ‘big tune big’ from the 6th symphony that was used as a theme tune from a programme called ‘Family at War’. The ‘B’ side was the Toccata from the 8th symphony which, as a youngster, I found very exotic and little bit disturbing! (These were from the LSO/Previn on RCA).
My other memory of the 8th symphony was hearing the (R)SNO play it under Neemi Jarvi in the 1980’s. I remember the leader’s solo being one of the most beautiful pieces of violin playing I’ve ever heard. ( The great Edwin Paling).

Bartók: The Miraculous Mandarin, Sz.73 (Complete Ballet)/Stravinsky: Petrushka (1947 version)
Vienna State Opera Chorus, Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra, Christoph von Dohnányi (Decca Japan MQA UHQCD)
Whether it's the MQA-isation (played back via an MQA-enabled Gold Note DAC) or simply the quality of the original recordings, these performances sound stunning, especially the Bartók. I'm not sure that I've ever been as conscious of the organ in a recorded performance. Anyway, up there with his Varèse 'Amériques'.
