Symphony 5th - best recording

My 3 year old son heard this on some kids show and wants the CD, I figured I can use this as an excuse to spend some $ on the finest recording I can find...any suggestions?

I want to clone that program and the kid as well. Imagine a program using music of that calibre for 3 year olds AND having a kid that hears it, can ID it, and ask for a CD of it! I approve!!!!!! :-)

I own it and love it. Beethoven's 9th on MSFL vinyl rocks too. Lots of posts from me today, it's a snow day. Yippee!

There are several "5ths" that are still world famous (even if they did not appear in "Clockwork Orange" which, btw, is not suitable for a three year old!)

The former will probably be re-issued on SACD. Szell with the Concertgeboew in a 24/96 re-mastering is also excellent. Boehm's VPO version is more relaxed than the others.
