As far as I know, there have been two integral recordings:  Chailly's
and Concerto Amsterdam's.  Both are excellent, but Concerto Amsterdam's
has not, I believe, been transferred to CD.  Soloists here included Paul
Doktor, Anner Bylsma, and Jaap Schroeder.  Naturally, I give the edge to
the Concerto Amsterdam, which is harder (if not impossible) to get, but
I like the Chailly as well.
