Your favorite Sheherazade LP ?

I heard a 1962 recording of Eugene Ormandy conducting the Philadelphia Symphony Orchestra this weekend at my father-in-law's house which was brilliant! I forget the record label, but it had a scematic of the orchestra layout on the back and all the recording details. I've been looking for it, and would appreciate any guidance you could provide. Or is there a different recording which is more highly recommended?

Boston Symphony Orchestra, Ozawa, DG circa 1979.

The finest performance, it doesn't drag, not too fast, and the dynamic hits are well coalesced.

Anserment/Suisse Romande DECCA original (also its licensed Contour Red Label CC7501 (UK) is surprisingly good)
