1959, 1969, and 1979. The one most commonly issued (and recommended) is the earliest one. For me, it's a "sacred cow" that doesn't live up to its reputation. Too slow, and some of the solo work, particularly some critical arias for the mezzo, is rather unimpressive. I actually prefer the 1979 version - it's no less turgid, but the solo work is considerably better. The 1969 was recorded live in Japan, and isn't worth seeking out.
For a modern instrument version, I usually opt for Rilling's more recent one on Hanssler. Corboz' isn't as well conducted, but the soloists are even better; ditto for Munchinger. Klemperer's looks good on paper, but I can't stand most of it. There are many HIP choices, most of which have something to offer - I haven't decided which I prefer.
