Thanks for all your suggestions guys. I have ordered the Gergiev and Mravinsky.

the mravinsky is very good. but... the mengelberg with concertgebouw is by far the best. he infuses this played to death piece with imagination, drama, color and makes it a really compelling listen.
I would recommend a performance that's been around for a long time, and which I still consider one of the best balanced and finest played: George Szell's with the Cleveland Orchestra.
I heard the Cleveland Orch. do this piece a year or two ago at the Menuhin competition in Austin.  It was amazing...jaw-dropping...head-shaking...almost unbelievable. 

The 2 best Leopold Stokowski New Philharmonia Decca SDD 493 and Lorin Maazel Vienna Philharmonic SXL6085 on record.
