I don't know anything about slinky or decadent interpretations, but I can recommend some performances in good sound that I really like:
Gilbert, Stockholm Phil--I particularly like this one because the sound, while not dry, is very clear so you can hear a lot of counterpoint that is muddied on some other performances. And it's a heartfelt, well-played reading.
Haitink, RCO
Abbado, Lucerne Festival
Maazel, Vienna Phil

The Lucerne/Abbado is on YouTube, and it's touching to see the great conductor in this. It's very good, but I'm not sure it's my favourite.I've now been listening to two more YouTube versions which to my ears are amazing:
- Boulez, both with CSO and a live performance from 1976 with the NYPO.
- Maderna/BBC SO live in London 1971. This is pretty stunning from a great, great conductor, who died in 1973. It stands alongside any versions I've heard. You really must listen to it. The BBC Legends CD is uber rare, so it's good to see it available on YT.
I also want to listen more to Gielen in this, and Ancerl is also on YT.
I haven't got round to working out what approach I like for the 4th movement yet - tempi and interpretation vary a lot. Horenstein sounds good right now.
