In a catalogue that lists over 200 recordings of Vivaldi's "The Four Seasons", and even 60 versions of Orff's "Carmina Burana", which is the very best?
With the help of Gramophone, Penguin Stereo Guide, BBC Music, Classic CD, and our own ears, we have put together the definitive guide to the popular classics.
A great beginners guide for those that have no idea where to start.
