I personally wouldn't recommend a purchase of a SINGLE series since you
don't plan to get more than one interpretation of a work. Each performance
has its own peculiarities, and to obtain knowledge of a work beyond one
interpretation takes more than one recording. You will contact on the list
many list members who have multiple recordings of works that are important
to them.
My own advice to you is to start out with what you like to hear, and
to keep your ears open for other things you like. Above all, don't make
hard-and-fast rules now or ever. Your tastes will grow and change -- mine
certainly do.
