Surprised no one's mentioned the Vaclav Talich, certainly a benchmark performance. Actually he made two recordings and I've never had the opportunity to compare.
As for Kertesz, the first recording (VPO) way outclasses his second.
As for the best I've ever heard, that honor must go to the St. Louis SO under Slatkin, maybe 15 years ago. It was by taped delay, and I heard it on WHRB. My oh my! Wish I'd had the recorder running...
