I find it's helpful to have multiple recordings by different conductors or symphonies. At one time, I had like 12 different recordings of the ninth, and each had it's own sound. My favorite will always be from the soundtrack to Immortal Beloved, but I've found that a few old recordings on tape I got from my grandfather are stunningly beautiful, too. I have recordings of Star Wars music from the Skywalker Symphony here in the Bay Area and from the London Symphony Orchestra. I have Sinatra's version of Embraceable You and Billie Holiday's. The art comes from the artist(s), as much from the art.
