I agree with Kchahoc that this work can be enjoyed in many different interpretatations, and it would be a shame not to hear several. But, of the many different performances I've acquired over the years the two that get replayed most frequently, due to their superb energy, pacing and sheer fun, are:
Previn/London Symphony Orcehstra on EMI -- a delightful and characterful performance with excellent piano work by Previn and clarinet by Peyer.
Andrew Litton/Royal Philarmonia Orchestra on MCA
These recordings aptly demonstrate that it doesn't take an American orchestra to make this music work.
