Cluyten's Beethoven Violin Concerto with Oistrakh is truly excellent, and the recorded sound is very good too. The orchestra is the French National Radio Orchestra and the recording was by French EMI.
There are LP remasterings in print of that as well as 4 or 5 CD couplings or boxed sets.
I can't say that I can recall ever hearing Cluytens in opera.
Strangely enough, Arkivmusic.com lists an SACD with one concerto contribution by Cluytens, but, from 1954, it has to be mono. I assume that it is a knockout performance, then!
