Try Furtwangler's Bayreut recording from the early '50s. (Note however, that the orchestra is below stage level @ Bayreut, so it sounds as if it's playing on the floor!) There's also a 1936 recording of Furtwangler/Berliner which, IMO is even better (as far as one can hear it). Finally, I heard (but do not have) an E. Kleiber/Berliner(?) recording that impressed me...
I also stay for Karajan and Bernstein IF you can't get Moscow Radio Symphony orchestra with Svetlanov IF you're able to get it. Unfortunately I did not keep track on solo male vocals. I consider this piece one of my favourites.
