Only have CD versions but here are my thoughts,
Dorati: Very robust and angular. I believe he was going with the ballet premise. You can feel a Stravinsky effect. Individual instruments get accentuated. Great sound.
Bernstein: Very subtle, even elegant. It has a more "early settler" feel to it. The down side is that the DG recording is very narrow.
Oue: Beautiful Reference Recording. But it's not engaging. Extremely slow. Wide recording, but you feel like you're in the back of the theater.
Gould: Nice sound stage. Close to Bernstein in feel. My pick until they remaster the Bernstein.
