ok, here i go out on the limb. my very favorite is TOMITA!
the presentation is nearly visual with the synthesizer as he performs it. of course i love the orch and piano versions and the organ versions too.
the orch version o prefger is the lorin maazel/clevleand/telarc which is verrry powerful in the great gate. yoel levys version on telarc is also right in there too, as is the reiner on rca.
sorry but the elp is to vomit for. i know that there are those that feel the same way about the tomita as i do about ELPs but this is life. allice artzt a classical guitarrist agrees here.
another version is the guitar version by kazuhito yamashita, a masterpiece on rca. this doesnt seem to be avail at towerrecords.com, keep trying the used LP bins. he also does 'new world symphony' by dvorak which i dont have.
