Because of the various versions of Nodame Cantabile CDs available , I'm sure many fans have experienced some confusion as to which one is what,so I'm posting this neat and informative post I found at the JDrama Theme Songs & OST [requests & discussion] at JDorama.com.

[2007-01-01]
A number of classical music pieces featured in the drama/anime. Movements that were not performed in the drama/anime were also featured, but not necessarily the complete suite. These were recordings of famous artists/orchestras and were not the ones heard in the drama/anime.

More complete and structured version of the above. Include music from the anime.
The poster of the above list also had this to say about all the releases:
Whether you want to collect all of the above is up to you. To be honest I did not purchase all - I consider the Character Selections a rip-off and only purchased the Nodame selection.
I hope this post has been helpful as a guide for you on deciding which Nodame Cantabile CD you'd like to buy.^^

You're a life saver! Thanks for this information! I really got SUPER confused! hehehe!
Thanks a million!
P.S. This is definitely the best blog for NC! Keep up the good work! =D
So does this mean that if I wanted the same version that was heard in the anime, then I should go for either the 'Mongoose set' or 'Orchestra de Nodame'?
Also how do you think the 'Nodame Orchestra' compares to the recordings by the various world orchestras?
I know the second question might be tough to answer so I beg your indulgence.
