I have many recommendable versions on LP, but on the CD, from my own personal listenting, I can recommend the Symphonie Fantastique version LONDON G2-36839 with the Chicago Symphony, Sir Georg Solti, conducting. It is a live recording from the 1992 Saltzburg Whisun Concert, Grosses Festspielhaus. I just listened to it and I can recommend it from both the interpretation as well as the sonics. It also includes Franz Lizt's Les Prelude in what is a sonic blockbuster. However, I looked for it at Amazon and Tower and see that it is out of stock. I suggest you try good sources for used CD's. An Audiogoner has recommended a version on Telarc, and I have an LP of that version and it is a good one.
