Looking for best recording of The Nutracker on SACD


I just purchased a Pentatone SACDrecording of the Nutcracker from target online, but the second track sounded like it was at hyperspeed- ive never heard that movement played at that pace, i think the actual recording may be flawed. http://www.target.com/p/peter-ilyich-tchaikovsky-nutcracker-suite-capriccio-italien-polonaise-waltz-...

So, back to target it went and Im still searching for the complete ballet on SACD But not looking to pay $100 for it.  My reference recording is this

https://www.discogs.com/Tchaikovsky-London-Symphony-Orchestra-Antal-Dorati-Anatole-Fistoulari-The-Nu...

Which ive had for 15 years.  Now older with a better setup (oppo 103, audioquest diamond hdmi, marantz 8802a, two lexicon rx-7 amps bi-amping revel studio2, voice2, and 2 sets of gem 2s) im looking for something of higher quaility.  Any suggestions?

The Nutcracker complete ballet (not Suite or Excerpts) under A. Vedernikov on PentaTone 5186091. OK but not Great...
I also go for SACD if there is a choice but my Wadia 781i fails to beat CDs played on my Naim CDS3. My fav is Nutcracker under Gergiev  (Philips 289 462 114-2) but if you are looking for the "real thing" then its Nutcracker excerpts (unfortunately) under Mravinsky, crazily spelled as:
Tchaikovskij under Jevgenij Mravinskij on Leningrad Masters LM 1314
