Yes, I enjoyed the Michael Stern recording, even though his father's feet smelled to high heaven! (Sorry for the obscure reference - it's to one of our Isaac Stern free-for-alls we had on this board a couple of years ago!)
I also like the traditional favorites too (Boult, Barbirolli). The Mehta/LAPO is also excellent IMHO. In fact, I don't think I've heard a recording of the Enigma Variations that I've disliked. (I've only read about the notorious Bernstein DG recording, with its imposition of complete stasis on the Nimrod variation - LOL!)
