Dorati on Philips (Mid-Price).

B minor:Bernard d'Ascoli (don't know what label)
Missa Solennis (Hungaroton)
The DANTE Symhony and the 2nd Piano Concerto was my (perfect) introduction
to Liszt.
Dante: LP Decca, Jesus Lopez-Cobos (not released on CD (yet?). I haven't
found any other satisfying recording.
2nd Piano Concerto: Tamas Vasary on DG or Leslie Howard on Hyperion (2 CDs
containing other works for piano and orchestra).

5, Das Lied von der Erde and especially 9 did it for me.

I don't hate Chopin, but I think he is uneven. I recommend his Preludes and
Nocturnes.
