Andrew, Jack was correct; I had a "wild and crazy Friday night planned", but I cancelled in order to listen to Vivaldi. You didn't mention if you preferred period instruments, but if so I'd suggest Carmignola . If you'd rather have modern instruments this COE performance is a bargain. I don't think that it's really necessary to look for a special surround recording; applying DPLII to these good CDs sends ambience to the surrounds and sounds fine.

Ask about any other classical suggestions(how about Glazunov's The Seasons for a contrast?)that you might have an interest in.

Enjoy the music, not the equipment.
