I've heard yet.

At least pick up and sample the London orange label Treasury.

It's a sleeper demo disc for the ages.

Many of the Decca Ansermet recordings were done in Geneva and engineered by Roy Wallace. They are almost all wonderful recordings. Can sometimes be a little bright like the Mercurys but very realistic. Anytime I see a Decca or London Ansermet recording in the used record bins I snatch it up. I have seldom been disappointed. Ansermet was a great conductor

I agree the Ansermet is quite nice both in sound and performance. But, Stravinsky thought so highly of Reiner's interpretation that he was reluctant to record it himself thinking it couldn't be bettered.

  ...I humbly think Ansermet "gets down" more in the dance riffs toward the beginning.
