Well I picked up the first 4 epsiodes of David Zinman's Beethoven cycle
on Arte Nova in London and am very favourably impressed.  i've heard good
things about their Skrowacecki Bruckner series too.

Having said which, some of the great recordings of all time are
available at mid and budget price on the major labels.
