As you know, and IMO, #5 is probably the most popular and accessible, followed by #10.  In this catalog I like #7 because of the history.  Admittedly some are hard to hear, and I don't even have any after #11.

 

For mellower symphonies in this catalog, Kees Bakels did a good job with the Vaughan-Williams (maybe #7 Antartica not so mellow at Ye Ice Falls!).

 

Marin Alsop also did a  nice job with some of the Dvorak.  I bought the 24/96 download with #6 just for the beautiful Nocturne.

 

Thanks for the pointers. And I was being a tiny bit facetious, as I do like a couple of Shostakovich symphonies very much - the 2nd, and the 7th. I need to listen to more of them.

 

I'm tempted to buy this one:

but just comparing the 7th on this collection to the standalone release, it seems like the latter has better SQ. I suspect it's a level difference, but it did stop me from pulling the trigger on the complete set.
