Best Recording of Scheherazade


What recording of Rimsky-Korsakov's Scheherazade do you find the most enjoyable? I've listened to four different recordings in the last 24 hours. London Symph under Svetlanov, Philharmonic Orchestra of Monte Carlo under Lawrence Foster, Berliner Philharmoniker under Karajan, and New York Phil under Masur. Out of these, I'd rank them as such:
1)Karajan
2)Masur
Distant 3) Foster
4) Svetlanov

I love my college's music library.

That's funny, I clicked on to vote for Reiner. Those were Chicago's best years, in many respects.
1st choice LSO/Charles Mackerras and while it's probably nowhere the "best", I enjoy Ormandy with the Philadelphia Orchestra.
without any doubt or hesitation Sergiu Celibadache with the Munich Philharmonic. Second would be Karajan.
I have an RCA Red Seal Shaded DOg vinyl copy that is my favorite. I think the conductor was Fritz Reiner.
