Beethoven Symphony #5

My 2-cent recommendation:

a) Vienna Philharmonic Orch. / Carlos Kleiber


In June 1975, Deutsche Grammophon released its first symphonic recording with Carlos Kleiber and the Vienna Philharmonic. It was of a single (and pretty short) symphony, Beethoven’s Fifth. Richard Osborne, defiantly flouting the Editor’s commissioned wordage, submitted a review three times the length requested. But he’d spotted a winner and within months, this blazing Fifth had become a Classic Recording.
