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?

Has anyone yet heard the recently released Scheherazade recorded by the Marc Aubort/Joanna Nickrenz team on Classic Records CR 2002?

Moscow State Symphony Orchestra
Pavel Kogan, conductor
Classic Records CR 2002-200G

Aubort/Nickrenz are one of my favorite recording teams, thus my interest.

Boston Symphony Orchestra, Ozawa, DG circa 1979.

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