For CD versions full price I will go with recent Herreweghe
on Harmonia Mundi label, excellent recording with great emotional thrust. This is period instrument performance.
Nearly as good at bargain price level is the Hickox version on Virgin label (ultraviolet series)
Other versions are good: Gardiner, Schreier etc but my 1st choice remains Herreweghe.
