Thriftstore-find ! I One day i compared the original Byron Janis / Kirill Kondrashin, Rachmanininov's third Piano Concerto on 'Mercury' with a 'Brilliant' release and they did sounded exact the same. Conclusion: Brilliant uses original sources. These boxes do sound excellent !

Many different recordings of Faure's Nocturnes. My favorites of the ones I own are Sally Pinkas' (complete) and Estaban Sanchez's ( a selection). 

Of the one I've heard,  Albert Ferber's (a selection) and Sanchez. IMO avoid two that are frequently cited as top notch: Collard's (cold and athletic -- to borrow someone else's description) and Marguerite Long's (tinkle tinkle)
