In addition to seconding Donald Satz's recommendation of Kubelik, I
will add Bernstein's DG recording.  Arguably it is his finest recording
of anything.  It has the typical slower tempi the conductor adopted
later in his career, but it is never slack.  The orchestra, the VPO, is
marvelous.  I am not typically a Lenny fan, but this is special.  If I
recall correctly, Bernstein takes all the repeats, extending the fourth
movement of Jupiter toalmost 12 minutes compared to Kubelik's 6:39!

Peace,
