Apart from sonic considerations: the first recording by Louis Krasner
(1936) with no one else but Anton Webern conducting is still one of the
best.  Other great recordings which the original poster probably won't
like as technically they are not on a par with more recent recordings:
Getler/Kletzki, Szigeti/Mitropoulos.  From recent recordings the Zehetmair
is hightly recommended.  Also: Grumiaux, Chung, Perlman.
