"Pictures at an Exhibition"

I'd love a recommendation for a really great sounding recording of the Ravel orchestration of "Pictures at an Exhibition." I have several recordings of this work, but none of them are recorded particularly well in terms of sound stage and dynamics, and now that my new system is up and running, I'd love something that can really show it off. Anything in a standard audio CD or easily accessible LP would be fine. Thanks in advance! :-)

I have three versions on cd,

Mehta/Nu Yoik Philharmonic on CBS MK35165,

Lorin Maazel/Cleveland Orch on Telarc CD-80042

But my favorite version is by Bernstein/Nu Yoik Philharmonic also on CBS MYK 36726

I think all are digitally remastered from Analogue.

Rebbi,
Apologies, I made a mistake, I loaded my multi player with all three cd's, I got them in the order wrong from what I thought I was listening to, the Bernstein is sonically good, but the Maazel/Cleveland on Telarc is sonically superior to my ears.
