i guess a variety of different artists would be good to go. the best well-known symphonies, and go from there? i have over 250 mozart tracks, beethoven's complete symphony collection, chopin's nocturnes, a little hayden, 50 "most essential" tracks, etc.

Well, from the romantic epoch, one of my favorites is Robert Schumann's Dedication, arranged by Franz Liszt and played by a Heroes 3 fan

I have no limited list, as most composers can also sound boring depending on the orchestra/conductor playing them, so I would recommend anything conducted by Karajan and Furtwangler (especially Bach and Beethoven), anything played at violin by Heifetz, Perlman (legendary moment), Oistrakh, Kreisler and Vengerov, then for piano the list is long and can't be exhaustive - the gold hands are Rachmaninoff,Horowitz, Argerich, Van Cliburn, Rubinstein, Richter, Gould. Those people can communicate emotions within any style, for a start.
For opera, of course Wagner, Verdi and Puccini always let you well fed.

Karajan is exceptional indeed but when it comes to Furtwangler, the recordings sound too primitive to me. I got a 15 cd collection of him but I rarely listen. The things is, if it’s a jazz big band, blues, or even solo performance classical, like say Artur Scnabel playing the sonatas, I can listen to pre-1950 recordings just fine. But when it comes to symphonic orchestra, I think those records simply lack depth, the echo effect required to get the feeling of the orchestra.

Interesting, I feel very different than you about Karajan and Furtwangler. I like young Karajan much better than the older one, and to me Furtwangler made the best versions of Wagner.

As I said, it’s not about the interpretation of the conductor. Pre-1950 recordings sound too reverbless to give the symphonic effect to me. I know Furtwangler is legendary, I can understand professional musicians listening to such records to analyze his interpretation. But the records dont sound symponic enough.

It's rather the opposite. You start analyzing the interpretation (or the lack of) when its bad played, otherwise you just enjoy the music flowing on naturally. The best interpreter is the one you don't hear between you and the music.

Let me elaborate, let’s say Furtwangler gives the go ahead to the string section with great precision and punctuation. You can also “hear” that on a technical level, so you would admire it. Your brain would automatically match it to abstract beauty. But if it’s some stuffed sounding recording from the 1930’s, it’s harder for a regular listener to do that. Most people even have a hard time listening to folk singers from that era. With most genres, I still enjoy, but with symphonic tracks, it’s harder to ignore the limitations of recording technology of the day.
A pretty twisted analogy would be to compare it to watching a drama from the 1930’s and watching a sci-fi from the 1930s. The outdated effects would matter more in sci-fi, especiallly for a regular audience. But a director or a writer could still enjoy the film more, spontaneously focusing on script quality or directing skills.
