There are many performances done in "Historically-Informed" fashion, if you don't mind a less "suave" tone and manner. The violins are played with less vibrato than by Menuhin and Oistrakh, which some listeners like, others don't. Interpretive preference is a matter of both musical education & training and good ol' taste.
I have the following H-I versions on CD, all worthy of a listen:
- Ton Koopman conducting The Amsterdam Baroque Orchestra; Erato 16165.
- Sigiswald Kuijken conducting La Petite Bande; Deutsche Harmonia Mundi 77006.
- Elizabeth Wallfisch conducting Orchestra Of The Age Of Enlightenment; Virgin 59319.
- Andrew Manze conducting The Academy Of Ancient Music; Harmonia Mundi (U.S.A.) 907155.
In observance of period performance, the conductor is one of the two violinists, though in the case of Koopman such is not the case. If recorded sound quality is for you a priority, the Manze/AAM on HM U.S.A. is awfully good, as usual for this great label.
