I have the Kremer (among 20 or so versions).  It has some nice points, but
Kremer produces some very harsh and unlovely sounds with his instrument,
and is particularly distressing in his explosive realization of the chords.
A couple of my favourites are on obscure labels that might be hard to find
in Lithuania, but the recent Naxos recordings by Lucy van Dael are
perfectly wonderful, among the best I've ever heard.
