I suppose I'm being a bit Draconian with 3, so feel free to post another 3 in the future For what it's worth, works such as Bach's St. Matthew Passion (a 3 hour affair) give you a lot of sound for your £

Then you have excellent taste! Which ones, may I ask?

Skylarking and English Settlement. Both are fancy new remasters that are said to sound much better than previous releases (especially ES). The new Skylarking is a blue-ray disc with a crazy number of demos and 5.1 mixes from the master tapes. It's a geek's dream. I have multiple other versions of Skylarking, but this was a must buy, and I don't even own a blue-ray player!
