'Youth' Symphonies

[sdtom]

Is there a preferred recording of Rachmaninoff's Youth Symphony. I have an LP transfer from the Vox recording with Slatkin and the St. Louis Symphony. I find it lacks the brightness I'm accustomed to and overall there is a bit of muddiness. As I find myself returning to this particular work. Any suggestions?

Sure, the Noseda/BBC Philharmonic recording on Chandos is fine. I also like the Ashkenazy recording on Exton - but that comes only in a large (and quite expensive) boxed set of everything for orchestra. The Slatkin is actually not bad at all; I have the first cd version made of it - in the cardboard sleeve - and it still sounds great.
