This is a cut/copy from a thread I posted to a few days ago, which details a recording I like (uses period instruments):
I've got a really fantastic recording / performance of this, which is one of the few discs I use to test new equipment.

it is the 6th of 11 choices (grey cover, 1982, picture of a blue dude with huge hair blowing wind on the cover).
this is the best i've ever heard of this performance, particularly the violin soloist (simon standage), and also the quality of the recording is excellent.
happy listening.
