Glazunov violin concerto -- Suggestions?

I was wondering if anyone had suggestions for recordings of Glazunov's violin concerto. Preferably, it should have crystal-clear sound, and a fast and stunning performance.

Thanks in advance for the suggestions!

Michael

If you want something new, and you want to explore his symphonies you might enjoy Polyansky's on Chandos which includes the VC and the 1st Symphony. I have really enjoyed Polyansky's Glazunov's Symphonies #'s 1 thru 5 on Chandos.

Should match just what you're looking for. Re-mastered and re-issued by Classic Records on vinyl in very good sound -- RCA LSC 2734.
