Thanks,

I also listen to this sometimes  -- fun selections. http://www.amazon.com/Thunder-Lightning-Gottlob-Frick/dp/B00000DLUS  You may not like Solti on somethings, but he does bring power and pace to music -- good for dances. 

I also like Leonard Bernstein version on his Encore collection volume 3.

The old Sheffield Labs Firebird album/or cd. I only dabble in classical. I have this because of the recording.
