I have:-

Tacet:
Schubert: Auryn Series Vol VIII (C Maj D956) -- excellent (discrete instrument placement)

AIX:
Marcello, Handel, Vivaldi: Oboe, Organ Concertos;
Haydn: Piano Trios;
Mozart: Variation K.573 — (best part is the Schumann Fantasie Op17);
Chopin: The Four Ballads (dual sided — with DVD-Video on the reverse).

All the above are excellent. In fact I recommend all whole AIX set (i.e. those recorded in the Bucharest session). The only thing I’d mention is that they’re all about 40 minutes long. I think more could have been packed into these single-layered discs, if say, there was no DTS mix. Nevertheless, they are still very much worth the modest price (I paid about $17 each).

AIX classical which I also have:-
~ JS Bach Brandenburg 3&5 + Air on G;
~ Scarlatti & Beethoven (woodwind quintet);
~ W A Mozart Symphonies 26 & 41.

(I also have several of the other AIX DVD-As — Nitty Gritty, + other jazz . . .)

In addition, I also highly recommend MDG’s Missa Solemnis which sounds exceedingly grand. This is over 80 mins long (yes, that’s more like it!), and comprises hi-rez 96kHz/24bit six-channel "2-2-2" configuration, and also a DVD-V compatible LPCM 48kHz six-channel surround version.
