I'm not a huge Szell fan, but the recording he made with Elisabeth Schwarzkopf of Strauss' Vier letzte Lieder and orchesterlieder is breath-takingly beautiful. Of course, the music itself could be described in this manner, but the amount of detail and attention brought to the music is perfection (or as close as one could get to it). Of course, Schwarzkopf carries the show, but the accompaniment from Szell is what makes it even more successful. I also like his Dvořák.
