It's on blu-ray audio, and I keep meaning to re-listen to it because I didn't know quite what to make of it and I'm fearful that a re-listening will confirm it to be a bit superficial and perfunctory (somewhat like the other hi-rez recording of this work - the Botstein/LSO performance on SACD). OTOH, the Falletta performance does have some interesting details of balance sometimes.
I have the Farberman/RPO recording and it's very fine in many ways, although there are little problems here too, such the lapses of ensemble (e.g., that part where the snare drum gets noticeably ahead of the rest of the orchestra - probably a result of recording in long takes with little editing). But I basically agree with you that it's a tough choice between Farberman and Downes.
