You correctly mention the cuts - but I can't remember what else I didn't like about it - Voigt and Heppner were certainly good. Maybe I thought the SQ was a bit congested? I've still got it, so maybe I can re-listen.
I was just looking at the reviews on Amazon and somebody mentioned that the only UNCUT version (at least as of the time of that posting) was the Sawallisch recording. Now I see that there's a YouTube video which shows the score in real time with the Sawallisch performance.
The Sawallisch recording with the score:

Another video on YouTube which I was impressed by is the concert performance (no staging) given with Jurowski and the Netherlands RPO (in the Amsterdam Concertgebouw), with Goerke, Schwanewilms, et al. (three separate videos, act-by-act). I love one of the comments about this performance which one person posted, something like, "Christine Goerke - you are the bomb!" ;-) I thought Schwanewilms was outstanding too. (I also have her recording of Four Last Songs.) BTW, now I see from one of the comments that this Jurowski performance is, like the Sawallisch, uncut.
The Jurowski concert performance in Amsterdam (also pretty good video at 720p BTW - but, eew!, NO subtitles!):
