I'm not sure if Richard Pennycuick was asking for recommendations for just the Choral Fantasia, just the Triple Concerto, or both. So, I'll assume both and take up more of your time. For the Choral Fantasia, I recommend either Tan/Norrington or Levin/Gardiner. They are both period instrument performances, and the Choral Fantasia takes very well to this approach. I do consider Tan/Norrington the more exhilarating of the two performances. IMHO, there's only one Triple Concerto performance that reaches the pinnacle. That's Richter/Oistrak/Rostropovich/Karajan on EMI. It's been reissued every few years, and I'm confident that its present reincarnation likely has a fine coupling. Both the Triple Concerto and Choral Fantasia get some flak from so-called elitists. Let's ignore them - these are highly enjoyable works of a master composer; no need to apologize.
