Challenge Classics has some really great recordings.

Beethoven Piano Concerto 4 & 5. Hannes Minnaar / Jan Willem de Vriend

My homework before attending SF Symphony Prokofiev 5 last Saturday, conducted by James Gaffigan as well. This is way at the very top in terms of recording. Every instrument is clearly recorded in their place, with great dynamic, tonal balance, texture, sound stage. Very well done. Highly recommended.

Leonard Slatkin conducts robust performances of William Schuman's American Festival Overture and New England Triptych and a reflective Symphony No. 10.

Agreed on both the recording quality and the performance, particularly of the 5th. Not surprised if Gaffigan is among the top candidates for the SFSO position..
