I don't partake of the vinyl any more, but my own hands-down favorite of it so far is Zubin Mehta's (CBS Masterworks) recorded in '77. It's a bit atypical in that it's the most monumentally dramatic and at times nightmarish version I've heard yet...a lot of the suggestion that Stravinsky's inspiration for this piece came from a dream (together with his absence of melodic lines) comes through in a very affecting way here. After this version the others that I've heard seemed almost tame by comparison...a few even pastoral. This CD is also very dynamic as well and seems pretty well engineered. There may still be vinyl pressings of it out there, but if so, I haven't actually heard them.
