My all time favorite is an old one - don't know if it made it to CD from
LP. Gervase DePeyer, London Symphony, Colin Davis (or was it Peter Maag?)

My advice s to listen to as many different recordings as you can find,
including ones that may stretch your definition of "good playing". That,
it seems to me, is how you'll find your own voice.
