Bernstein with the Vienna Philharmonic is my (rather unusual I think) recommendation. In fact his entire budget set by DG is worth having. And I'm not a Bernstein advocate! In general he picks up the pace a bit and his music is just plain joyous and exciting, not somber, overblown and, well sorta (for me) uninteresting. Greatly underrated I think. And the rest, i.e.
Reiner and the CSO
Vanska and the Minnesota Orchestra on BIS BTW, although I'm not sure why, I really like the Vanska with the gain higher than normal, it brings the music to life.
Von Karajam's 1963 performance, at least performance wise. I've not heard it on CD so I don't lnow about sound quality
And last, but not least, Kubelik and the Baverian SO.
Think about the Bernstein! :-)
