Symphony 5th - best recording


My 3 year old son heard this on some kids show and wants the CD, I figured I can use this as an excuse to spend some $ on the finest recording I can find...any suggestions?

I slightly prefer Reiner's to Kleiber's, although the latter is available on SACD (the DG sound might still be a bit harsh). The former will probably be re-issued on SACD. Szell with the Concertgeboew in a 24/96 re-mastering is also excellent. Boehm's VPO version is more relaxed than the others.
