Favorite Scythian Suite (Prokofieff)

[Teasing the Korean]

Do you have a favorite version?

I have a digital recording conducted by Simon Rattle in which the dynamic range is so extreme, the quiet passages disappear.  

I am listening to the RCA (analog) LP by the BSO, but it is combined with the Third Symphony, and as a result, some groove-cramming is going on.  

What's a great version, preferably from the LP (analog) era?

I usually reach for Hermann Scherchen's recording with the Vienna SO when I want to hear the Scythian Suite. The performance is superb; however, the audio is less than ideal. (It's mono, from 1951.)

 

Dorati's version has always been highly-regarded, but I've never heard it.  It also has a reputation for unbelievable sonics.

There is a hearworthy reading by Celibidache + Stuttgart Radio Sinfonie Orchester on Deutsche Grammophon ....

Thank you both.  I will keep my eyes peeled for these in the used bins.  I love the Dorati Le Sacre on Mercury, so I would imagine he would do well with the Scythian.
