My favorites for CD have been; Harmonia Mundi, ECM, Pentatone, moderntimes_1800, Zig Zag, cpo and BIS. For remastered vintage recordings; Orfeo d'Or, Andante. My favorites for original monophonic vinyl have been; Archiv Produktion (DG), London/DECCA and Haydn Society Records.

I have been very pleasantly surprised by Naxos recordings, all "regular" CDs, usually not performed by "household" names, but the quality of the recordings and performances are outstanding. I really enjoyed their " Naxos 30th Anniversary Special Edition Box Set", great selection, very nicely recorded and performed, excellent value!
