"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! :-)

Yeah, I have the ELP version on vinyl, and it's a lot of fun. In fact, it's what introduced me to the piece to begin with. I love the orchestral version, too.

I have a several versions on LP. Early London Digitally Recorded LP's with no sense of depth at all... They're just bright.

Gawdbless, how's the Bernstein version for sonics?
